Corrections to the Spring Newsletter

Residents should be receiving the Spring Newsletters that went out this week. There are 2 corrections that need to be noted. The first is for the Recycling Events. The events are no longer being held at the Recycling Center in Leesport. They will be held at the Governor Mifflin Intermediate School in Shillington. Advance registration is still required. 

The second correction is for the Budget article. It should state 2023 not 2021. The budget amount are correct, just not the headline. 

2023 Event Sponsorship Information

2023 Event Sponsorship Information

The Recreation Board is gearing up for the events scheduled throughout 2023. The purpose of these events is to provide recreational activities to not only our residents in Douglass Township, but also those in the surrounding communities. We are continuously striving for ways to improve our events and to find ways to incorporate involvement from local business. As a local business such as yourself, we are asking for your support towards this year’s events. As a thank you, for your support, we can offer you:
       Your organization’s logo or name on all promotional material
       Prime booth placement at any event you wish to attend
       Acknowledgement on our Social Media pages
       Acknowledgement in our Fall newsletter that goes out to every resident in Douglass Township, approximately 1,400

With your help as a sponsor, we can continue to provide unique events to the diverse crowds in and around Douglass Township. Proceeds will go towards entertainment, games, activities, or any other new event offerings. Sponsorships may be specific to an aspect of a particular event; for example, sponsoring just the egg scramble during the Easter Bunny Trail or an inflatable at Trunk or Treat. We are more than happy to accommodate your request. Attached is a list of the events and descriptions, flyers for the events, a description of each sponsorship level, and a form to sign up as an event sponsor.

If you have any questions about being an event sponsor, please call the office at (610) 367-8500 ext.1 or email us at dougberks@comcast.net

We hope we will be able to include you as one of our sponsors and look forward to working with you to promote your organization.
