Why
are you doing another calendar, when you made more money than you needed last
year?
Our goal last year was to fix and preserve our 100+ year old community center.
We put $100,000 into fixing it and $300,000 into a fund. Annual interest from
the fund will insure it will be maintained forever. We are doing another one
to provide seed money to save the 100+ year old Curtis Pond dam; help support
local organizations and projects like vollunteer fire departments and a school
playground, and to provide access to the upstairs of the community center
for person's with disabilities.
And
will you do it again in other years? We don't know if we will do another one or not!
How
will you decide who to give money to this year? We held a meeting to get input from Maple Corner community members.
The Maple Corner Community Center Board dedicated anticipated earnings from
the 2003 Calender to the organizations or projects ( Click Here) that received the most votes.
How
many 2003 calendars do you expect to sell? We really don't know. We did a survey of 400 people who purchased
calenders last year. 96% of those surveyed said they would buy on average
2.24 calenders again this year. We'll see what happens!
How
did you decide which Men would be in the calendar this year? The Calender Committee posted signs and sent emails to recruit
new men. Anyone over 65 automatically got in. Others were picked from a hat.
For more info see The Selection Process
Are
the Men really nude in the photos? You will never know!
Are
any of the Men single, unmarried, or otherwise unattached? Depends what day it is... Actually, all the 2002 fellows are hooked
up. Not sure about the 2003 batch!, I"ll check with them.
Will
there ever be a Women of Maple Corner Calendar? I have never heard a single women in Maple Corner express interest
in posing for the calender. Hmmm... What do they know that we guys don't?
Are
the Men getting paid to be in the Calendar? No. They do it for the glory... and for their community. Some of
the neighborhood men offered to pay money NOT to have to be in the calendar.
Is
Maple Corner a real place? Yes. Believe it or not. See the list of pros
and cons of living in Maple Corner before you decide to pack up and
move here, though!
Is
there an official Press Release available? Yes. Look here, or e-mail
Chris Miller for more information.
Has
there been any downside for the community? Not so far. All the work has actually brought alot of neighbors
together even more.
Have
you considered selling other products like t-shirts?
You can now order our t-shirts and hats! We
polled last years calendar customers, and 36% said they would buy t-shirts.
We polled the community mailing list about doing these other products and
the repsonse was 95% in favor of doing it. All items will start shipping about
the first week of October, the 1-2 times weekly after that.
