Ideas

The following ideas are currently in play to help the organization accomplish our goal of making Farley beautiful. Ideas from everyone are appreciated.

1. Volunteers are vital for the success of our organization. Without volunteers we are nothing but a plan that was never executed.

   1. Volunteers need to be organized into workers and supervisors.

   2. Recruit volunteers using local churches, residents, word of mouth, Facebook and Next Door.

   3. If interested parties can't volunteer as if they can donate supplies like trash bags or gloves.

   4. Volunteers should sign waivers to protect organization and individuals from liability.

   5. Offer volunteer groups an opportunity to "Adopt a Street" in return for their continued maintenance.

   6. Volunteers with trucks and trailers are needed.

2. Scheduling

   1. We expect most volunteer activities to be conducted on weekend, probably Saturdays.

3. Supplies

   1. Solicit local businesses for supplies.

4. Types of services expected to be offered.

   1. General trash pickup. Neighbors can place trash near the road for pickup or contact us for assistance.

   2. Determine a proper method of disposing of tires.  Preferably, free.

   3. Organize general trash pickups by specific areas to better scheduling.

5. Safety

   1. Obtain and install caution signs along cleanup routes to warn drivers of people working.

   2. Consult with Sheriff's office for assistance.

6. Ditches

   1. If a property owner has frequent flooding along their road or in their yard determine if the ditches or culverts need to be cleaned.

7. Documentation

   1. Need someone to photograph the before and after to document our progress.

8. Government Assistance

   1. Work with county code enforcement to determine who needs help with specific, difficult properties.

   2. Work with road department if assistance is needed with ditches or culverts.

   3. If, or when, the organization begins to manage financial donations, solicit fiscal court for small donation.

   4. Work with law enforcement to rid neighborhood of drugs.
