 WHO is Personal
Touch Welcome?  Dee Strilowich, as "The
Local Welcome Lady", has lived in Ridgefield for 37 years with her husband, Joe, and
they raised 3 children in town. She has volunteered for many years in scouting, school
groups and community organizations and knows what’s going on around town! Dee has
been greeting families in Ridgefield and Redding for over 13 years, and was recently
featured on the TODAY SHOW, on national radio as well as in the NY TIMES and USA TODAY.
HOW does Personal
Touch Welcome work?
Whether you are new to town or moved across town (bought a house or
renting), Dee will arrange a convenient time (evenings or weekends are OK) to personally
present you with your basket of gifts to welcome you to your new neighborhood. And if you
have become new parents, Dee has a special basket of gifts for you, too!
WHAT is in the basket?
Dee will bring you the important information you need such as motor vehicle
forms, maps, voter registration cards, tourist and cultural activities, things for the
kids to do and so much more! The local merchants have included special free gifts
right in the basket as well as certificates to return to them for more "no
obligation" free gifts! Kids love the little treats and stickers Dee has for
them!
WHY does Dee do what she does?
Dee is very enthusiastic about her community and finds it so rewarding to
help families settle into their new homes. She has such fun answering the many questions
that come up! And she loves the surprised reaction new parents have when they discover
they are entitled to a basket of gifts! Dee has done about 8,000 visits in Ridgefield and
Redding and never tires of knocking on another door!
WHEN can you receive your own basket of gifts?
Contact Personal Touch Welcome by phone or E-mail if you or someone you know in Ridgefield or Redding
move or have a new baby. Push aside those boxes for an hour and let Dee share
with you her love of your new town! |
