Nationwide across the United States, a Leave Raking Awareness Push has started in communities feeling the pressures of the FALL SEASON. In Early October, no one should be SURPRISED that an urgency surrounds the growing threat of leave suspension, that visits us every year at this time. Why is the "Fall of 2008" so different?



Talks of Harvest aside, the aging population of Baby Boomers scattered across the united states of america are hard pressed to either rake their leaves themselves or pay to hire landscapers to do the tedious job for them. In the meantime, it is quite apparent, even this early on in October, that many homeowners will opt to "WAIT IT OUT" until all the leavings have SETTLED and then make the FINAL DECISION.


The threat of the leaves carried on the WINDS of CHANGE from other surrounding dwellings is just too great to sacrifice and the pay cost of removalS during the onslaught. With the secret machinations of these homeowners in mind, a great PUSH has swelled up to raise awareness among the YOUNG PEOPLE of the united states of america, to come to the FOUR, and STAND in the GAP.

This Leave Raking Awareness Push will not only solve the problems facing homeowners nationwide, but will also prepare those same people for the ripple effects of the Economic Crisis. By Enlisting the aid of younger able bodied and available teenagers and adults in your community, your town will be able to develop an enhanced social net of acquaintances and Caring.

The process by which each community must mobilize to effect the infrastructure necessary for children and young adults to meet after school and be counseled trained and equipped to then embark under adult supervision to lawn assignments throughout the neighborhood, would create linkages among social groups in towns that are necessary to have a disciplined response to economic hardships that may arise. Plus, we get all our lawns raked!

The resulting social network would re-constitute the people of the united states of america to a first name, everyone is my neighbor basis.

The Children would be the unifying factor and multiplier.

HOW TO DO CREATE A LEAVE RAKING AWARENESS PUSH in your AREA

Please, first come up with as many ideas as you can on your own. All I can really do is offer some ideas that have come to me here.

First of all, just sharing the IDEA of it, is enough to know that it can and will result in the NETwork being created. The reason is that the idea is so easy to implement on any scale.

Combining Money remuneration into your program can initially be the key. As you gather more people who like the idea and want to see it happen, devise ways to raise money from all areas of your city: households, businesses, churches, govts, everyone donate to a FUND from which to PAY the children for raking the lawns.

To see this part happen, you must blanket your city with advertisement of the idea through those same groups including your local newspapers. Do not forget to inform civil servants and Police, Fire Hospital and Ambulance peoples. Print up flyers about the IDEA and setup a date and time and a meeting at a civil meeting place, like town hall or high school... then set up more meetings to discuss the next week at more local places... as the idea spreads.. the kids will love it

for the next two months the kids can earn money and get to know their neighborhood. Adults who like to volunteer can chaperone work groups who can work the same area. Local residents can meet their neighbors kids and their neighbors.

At meetings, people can discuss the economic situation's impact on their city, and kids are present too... so more open discussions will take place and more ideas will come up to prepare or help with problems as they arise.

so... thats enough... as you can see this can spread very easily as little or as much as your desire to see it happen in your city..
