Once your Vertical Watch Program is established, hold an open house. It's a great way to acquaint residents with the program and attract additional members.
Open houses are another opportunity to raise funds.
Ask local suppliers to donate hot dogs, buns, coffee, donuts, etc. In exchange for the food and refreshments, ask visitors to make a voluntary donation to the program support fund. Be sure and have enough toppings on hand for the hot dogs, likewise with cups, cream, sugar, etc. Make a point of recognizing through signs and announcements the sources of any donations you receive from local suppliers. Create interest through posters in the building and in neighbourhood stores and community centres.
