Great Minds Think Alike....
Mike Robinson sent me a suggestion a month or more ago and we have been working on it together.
I haven't completed my part which is creating the downloadable printable pdf for all to use but here is what Mike wrote and his idea. We had actually picked the Friday (June 13) before Fathers Day for "Take a TTQB To Work Day" which of course is the day before National Miniature Electric Football Day on June 14th. This would make for a 3 day Dad and MFB weekend!
No reason that we couldn't set this up as well for Draft Day.
This was going to announce in the next Tweak but nobody ever reads what I post anyway so I'm probably safe in putting it here.
Any suggestions for the text for MFB Draft Day would be great and i can prepare a flyer!
On (insert day here), the MCFA is asking coaches across the country to introduce co-workers to the hobby of miniature football. Show them the excitement you have for the game by demonstrating game play and answering questions. Football fans are everywhere. Showing them how fun the hobby is can only help it grow and give it greater exposure.
Here is what we ask of you, the ambassador of miniature football:
1. Check with your employer to see if meeting rooms or break rooms can be used to display your board and players. Some companies put out newsletters. Get the event added if they will allow.
2. Invite co-workers to come learn about the hobby.
3. Take you favorite boards, players, tweaking tools, decals, facemasks etc. to be displayed to co-workers.
4. Show them the excitement of miniature football! Run plays! Tweak bases! Explain the hobby. The men don’t just run in circles. Help dispel those myths.
5. Take pictures! Report back to the MCFA on how the event went. The Tweak want to know!
The MCFA has flyers you can print to advertise the event. You can make this hobby grow!
TEXT for flyer:
Football Fans! The NFL season is over but football excitement is year round!
Come join me for a demonstration of the classic football game you enjoyed as a kid! Electric football has grown up and is more exciting than ever.
YOU are the coach!
YOU call the plays!
Come see all that the hobby of miniature football offers!
