Featured Event: Barley Greets Eastwood Students |
|
On Wednesday, Feb. 2, Hillsboro Hops mascot Barley served as a VIP Community Greeter at Eastwood Elementary School. Through the Community Greeter program, which was started in 2017 by local organization Just Create Community, volunteers visit the school once a week to offer a friendly hello to students and inspire them in their education. On the first Wednesday of each month, they host VIP greeters like Mayor Steve Callaway, Police Chief Coleman, Fire Chief Downey, and, on this day - Barley! Over the years, Just Create Community has also offered programs like Community Readers (in person and virtual) and Intergenerational After-School Cursive, and has held several community drives to raise resources for Eastwood. Look for information on their new Pen Pal project with Ms. Costa’s 6th grade class in an upcoming edition of Hot News. Many thanks to Cindy Cosenzo, owner of Just Create Community, for her commitment to Eastwood; and to Barley for making this an awesome day for students!

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
