Committee's Initiatives
- Media Releases & PR: This project is the handling of Media Releases & Public Relation Pieces Rochester Main Street handles or takes part in. In an average year we generate dozens of positive mentions in news and radio broadcasts!
- Main Street Matters / eblasts: Our Newsletter goes out to 900+ active readers 52 times per year! This news letter not only provides information about our organisation but about other local organisations and businesses as well!
- Website Hosting / Maintenance: This allows up to update and maintain our website.
- Social Media: We are active on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and always looking for more ways to reach out to new followers!
- Annual Meeting: Every February this meeting is to give our partners and volunteers a chance to see all the final data on the previous year as well recognize partners / businesses that have shown excellence and earned one of our yearly awards.
- Annual Report: this report is printed and give all of our partners and volunteers a recap of the previous year.
- RMS Wearables : This allows us to produce volunteer shirts, board member shirts, etc.
- Wine in the Garden / Beer in the Woods: Our main fundraiser for the year. Sample a great assortments of locally produced wines and beers, paired with amazing food from local restaurants. This takes place at Studly Flower Gardens to make this an amazing event!
- Lakes Region Casino: Rochester Main Street volunteers partner with Belmont Gaming for up to 10 days of gaming. We as the partnering non-profit earn a percentage of the money made from gaming on those nights.
- Investment Drive: This is the process we have to go through to make sure we get the funding we need to accomplish all the great projects we have lined up.
- Sign Up Genius For Volunteers: Without our volunteers we would get nothing done, Sign up Genius is a user friendly program that allows us to get the word out to our volunteers of any needs we may have!
