Jeans Days fundraiser to support town activities
People’s United Bank and Springfield on the Move are collaborating on a fundraiser to enhance our town and downtown as an attractive, desirable and economically viable destination for residents and visitors. The town-wide “Jeans Day” fundraiser will help to support efforts like the Market Madness Street Fair, the Building Improvement Program, the holiday activities, banners and other initiatives to bring business and visitors downtown.
Letters for the town-wide “Jeans Day” fundraiser were mailed today to about 30 businesses to invite participation and allow their employees to dress down for a day or two. The employer or employee can purchase the right to wear jeans on designated days, one pass for $5 or five passes for $20. Jeans Day is designated for April 29, May 27, June 24, July 29 and August 26, so businesses and their employee can participate in one day or all five days.

According to Diane Parker, Manager and Vice President for People’s United Bank in Downtown Springfield, “These fundraisers have been very successful with People’s United Bank. It is a great way to raise money for a worthy cause and to have some fun as well.“

The irony being, many of these same do-gooders will vote in November to return the same people to office that are responsible for Springfield's economic plight. Bottom line, if you voted for certain selectboard members and our exclusively liberal contingent in Montpelier, then you my friend are part of the problem.
ReplyDeletewhat a crock
ReplyDeleteYou mean there still are people that don't wear jeans at work? Are they stuck in the 50's? Maybe tickets to cross dress would be more appropriate. Ticket would also allow entry in the opposite sex restrooms as an added bonus.
ReplyDeleteEver hear "Dress for Success". There is nothing wrong with wearing nice clothes other than blue jeans. Yes I know that some jeans cost $$$. And many companies have "Jean Friday". Just as long as the the boys keep the belt line above the knee line. You know that stupid look.
