Dear Supporters,

The  Google Twin Ports Fiber Initiative is holding two big events this

Saturday, and need hundreds of volunteers.

1.We're looking for hundreds of volunteers to drop by the old Carnegie

library at 101 W. 2nd St. Suite 200 in Duluth, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

this Saturday March 13, to pick up pledge cards. You then have the rest of

the weekend to distribute those pledge cards in your neighborhoods in Duluth

and Superior.

We give you an area of the city (near your home) to drop postcards off. You

won't have to speak with the homeowner. Just leave a card in the door. The

pledge cards are then filled out by the homeowners who indicate whether they

would purchase Google ultra-high speed fiber for about what they're paying

today for the Internet. Then the homeowners drop those cards in the mail

Monday.

2.An open casting call for the Google Twin Ports Movie will be held from 9

a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 13, also at 101 West Second Street,

Suite 200. Participants don’t need an appointment for the casting call. Part

of the movie will be shot during the Google Fest rally between 2 p.m. and 4

p.m. on March 20, at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center’s Lake

Superior Ballroom.

Thanks,

Patrick Garmoe
