October 2009 Hot Button Winners
Congrats to our
October 2009 Hot Button of the Month Winner!
October's Hot Button of the Month Contest Winner is�Sean-Michael Fleming from Woodbine Street Garden in Brooklyn, NY. "Woodbine Rocks Love Your Block" buttons were used to boost participation in a contest hosted by the Citizens Committee for New York City and the New York City Mayor's Office called "Love Your (NYC) Block."
"Our block association's project entailed refurbishing and replanting over 40 street planters and 40 tree beds - all disguised as a major block party complete with a deejay and barbeque," said Sean-Michael. "The envent was a huge success, and while our block was not the grand prize winner, everyone who participated really was a winner!"
Sean-Michael noted that by the day's end, the block looked fantastic and was alive with neighbors working together and having fun. "We also used buttons at the event to thank volunteers - everyone loved them!" Sean-Michael said. You can view a mini-movie thanking event participants at http://www.WoodbineGarden.org. As the Hot Button of the Month winner, Sean-Michael received a $100 Badge-A-Minit gift certificate.
