I’ve decided to try and kick up the membership drive a notch by running a “race contest” for an iPod Nano with 2 Gb of storage. This iPod is worth about $200, and is a great way to store and listen to your favorite music while walking or jogging (or on a plane). And, if you have a child over the age of 6, you could be a hero if you wanted to give it to him or her.

So, here are the rules of the…

Pre-Launch “Tell A Friend” Race Contest

1. To participate in the contest, you must be registered at www.NashobaValley.com. After completing your registration, you will be redirected to the “Tell A Friend” page.
2. On the “Tell A Friend” page, you will have the opportunity to send an email to 15 of your friends to let them know about the NashobaValley.com web site, and the “Tell A Friend” Contest.
3. When one of your referred friends signs up and mentions you as the “Referred by” contact, you will get one point. The “Referred by” form is located at www.NashobaValley.com on the registration form.
4. The first person to get 15 points will win the iPod Nano. 15 referrals = 15 points. The winner will receive the iPod Nano (or $200 in cash - your choice).
5. All referred friends must live in towns of the Nashoba Valley - defined here as Ashby, Ayer, Devens, Dunstable, Groton, Harvard, Littleton, Pepperell, Shirley, Townsend, and Westford.

If you have already registered for the NashobaValley.com Pre-Launch List, you can go directly to the “Tell A Friend” page and start entering. To enter again, simply go back to the “Tell A Friend” page and enter more friends.

I understand a few of you have already referred friends, but unfortunately I have no tracking these past referrals - sorry. But, with only 15 referrals needed, you should be able to find some people to sign up as your friend.

Ongoing results will be posted on the NashobaValley.com Pre-Launch Blog.

Good luck!

Hello Everyone!

This is the NashobaValley.com Pre-Launch Blog, and this is where I’ll be posting information about the launch of NashobaValley.com (scheduled for Monday, September 25th).

I’m VERY excited about launch NashobaValley.com, and I look forward to making my web site THE place to find information about the communities and businesses of the Nashoba Valley region. Right now, the site includes the towns of Ashby, Ayer, Devens, Dunstable, Groton, Harvard, Littleton, Pepperell, Shirley, Townsend, and Westford.

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be sending you video tours and snippets of information about what you can expect when the site launches. In addition, I’ll be asking you feedback on the features of NashobaValley.com, as well as your opinion on different matters - including what prizes I should offer every week.

So please watch your email for more information, and don’t forget to tell your friends to register for the Pre-Launch Notification List. I’ll be cooking up some great benefits to being in early for the Pre-Launch!

Regards,
Chuck Smith
