Hi Jim,
Thank you for contacting me. I want to introduce myself, my name is Shelly Meyers. I am the daughter of Lois Bjerke and Duane Nordin. I am volunteering as the event coordinator for the Hackensack Chainsaw Sculpting Invitational this fall.
The concept of this event started with AJ & Ross, it came to fruition with their industry insight and numerous volunteers and sponsors.
Unfortunately, due to mix emotions etc, AJ & Ross have decided to have a separte event two miles out of town at Ross's place.
I understand your community is a very tight community which supports one another,due to the support I was told there may be a boycott for the event I am working on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have shared a bit of back ground, so I will share a bit of the information about the event I am coordinating.
With that said, the town of Hackensack sponsored by the Chamber, Lions, Legion and numerous volunteers would like to continue with the event.
I will have more logistics at the end of the month when I meet with all three non-profit organizations.
We are looking for 10 pro 5 semi pro
Each pro carver will receive a ECHO CS-310 ($199.00 value) for attending the event
Prizes:
$7500.00 has been raised in prize money so far.....but we are months away still, so hoping to raise even more money
The winner of the master carve will receive half
Lodging- working on which resorts will sponsor the each carver
Snacks- General Mills will be donating snack bars for all carvers
Water- Sponsor has been contacted
Meals- Sponsors have been contacted
I've reached out to various corporations already, just waiting for their replies at this moment.
I look forward to hearing back from you. I only ask if you are not interested in attending you simply reply no thanks to my email.
I understand everyone has their own opinion and I respect that, and I hope you can respect my efforts of volunteering to raise money for a wonderful community and the people in the community.
Have a blessed day.
Shelly Meyers
