MIDTERM VOLUNTEER WEEKLY BULLETIN
AUGUST 15, 2018
Welcome to the first edition of the Midterm Volunteer Weekly Bulletin! You are receiving this email because you expressed interest in MVCAN’s activities in support of key midterm races. You will receive this bulletin every Wednesday through Election Day. The Bulletin will provide information about upcoming phone/text banks and door-to-door canvasses, along with training opportunities, and links for signing up for these events.
Thank you to the 120 volunteers who attended the MVCAN Midterm Kick-Off event last Sunday. We highlighted the races we would be focusing on and the activities planned to promote voter turnout. If you missed the Kick-Off, take a look at our slides to read about the key takeaways.
