Downtown Tour Guides Still Needed for BSU Orientation

Genny Gordy and Cheryl Crowder will give all “orienteers” a training session on Monday June 4th at 4pm at the Downtown Development office, 407 S. Walnut Street.  If they are unable to attend on Monday, they might consider taking the tour with the parents on Tuesday at 10:40am, starting at Muncie Civic Theater.

If you are interested in helping out, please call Genny Gordy at 284-8422 or Cheryl Crowder at 289-7897.
Please take the time if you can, we need lots of volunteers! The tours are lots of fun, and the parents last year loved it.

Here is some more information, if you'd like to take part:
BSU Orientation Dates: Tuesdays Wednesday and Thursdays: 22 days
June 5-8, 19-22, 26-29
July 3-6 and 10-13
Drop off at Muncie Civic Theater @10:40

Muncie Visitors Bureau has put together Downtown information bags for parents. If you have any printed materials you'd like to make available to the orientation parents, you can bring them to Muncie Civic Theatre, which will be the drop-off and pickup point for the parents, or contact Cheryl or Genny for more information.

Additionally, discount cards will be given to the parents to use when they return to Muncie for Family Weekend Sept. 28-30, and daily drawings will be held for gift baskets. If you would like to donate an item or items to add to the daily giveaway, please contact Cheryl or Genny.

BSU is working on welcome banners for Walnut St. Artwork will be made available on munciedowntown.com for Downtown businesses and residents who want to print out their own signs to put in their windows. Folks are also encouraged to decorate in red and white themes for window displays and flowerboxes throughout the visitation period.

It was pointed out that the parents want to buy things that say "Muncie". Postcards, tee-shirts, cups, mugs, etc. Inexpensive souvenirs are great!
