Sample E-mail to Recruit Attendees

Hello [insert name],

I’m hosting a Civic Conversation on [insert date and time] about Parenting in a Pandemic and would love it if you could make it!

We’ll be joining the amazing Civic Conversations happening across Georgia as part of a series that GEEARS: Georgia Early Education Alliance for Ready Students is helping to organize. You can anticipate some really meaningful and important dialogue around how we can create communities that support parents and caregivers of young children in Georgia. 

I think talking about these kinds of issues among family, friends, and colleagues will bring clarity and hopefully some solutions we can forward on to those ready to help.

You can learn more about my Civic Dinner taking place on [insert date and time] and register at: [insert your unique URL – copy/paste from civicdinners.com]. I hope you can make it and join in on what will be a great night!

Cheers!
