PROGRAM FOR RALLY (First try at a draft)
9:30 Columbus public event begins.
Other rallies can begin as early as 9:00. The start time for regional rallies is up to the individual LNCI leaders. What programming you do before 10:00 is up to you as well. In Columbus, I think we’re going to maybe have kids sing, show the LNCI DVD, talk about all the good things happening in Columbus, give an award to a doctor doing great things to reconnect children with nature, have our Mayor talk, etc.
*Be sure to pass out bookmarks, trifolds, hang OhioLNCI.org banners, wear Ohiolnci.org t-shirts if we get them done(?)
