We are looking for committee members to create a winter scavenger hunt. Our first meeting will be Wednesday, September 16 at 6:00. The idea is similar to Checkpoint MN. Check it out at http://checkpointmn.com/. Basically we would create 12-24 checkpoints around our local area that individuals, families, and friends would try to get to over an 8 week period. Checkpoints may be public locations that involve hiking, snow shoeing, etc., or a business that would encourage family togetherness, recreational activities, or spiritual uplifting. Each checkpoint would have a sign that would have the new HCLC logo, the sponsoring business/organization name, and an inspirational message or scripture verse.
The purpose of this challenge would be to lift spirits, get families and friends out and active, and give individuals ideas of things to do in the winter. HCLC would be reaching out to the community and partnering with area businesses and organizations through this challenge. Businesses would gain additional traffic and could even offer incentives for Challenge participants.
We are looking for people who’d be interested in getting this challenge organized. We need the following talents and interests:
- Idea people (Where should checkpoints be? What businesses may want to partner with us? What items could be given away?)
- Web/IT background (How do people record their checkpoints? Where do people gather the information about this challenge?)
- Community connections (How do we connect with businesses and community members to get sponsorships and give away items? How do we promote this challenge?)
- Graphics (What do our signs and informational materials look like?)
We will meet Wednesday, September 16 from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at church.
