Unilever First Corporate Sponsor of the 350th Celebration

A message from the 350th Celebration Committee:

Unilever becomes the first corporate sponsor of the 350th Birthday Celebration of Clinton. 

The company, who is closing their doors on December 31, 2012, after 124 years, has donated the publication costs of 6,000 brochures to be distributed through local papers to households all along the shoreline. 

Unilever has also donated 100 additional copies of “Memory Days,” a memory book dedicated to all those employed at the company from its start-up in 1888 until now. 

These books will be for sale beginning December 2, 2012, at the 350th Celebration Headquarters located at 30 East Main Street, Clinton and at Technique Printers.  All money collected from the sale of the books will go the 350th Birthday Celebration.

Clinton’s 350th year-long celebration will officially kick off on February 2, 2013 with “The Launch," the town party at Andrews Memorial Town Hall from 8pm to 11:30pm. For more information visit www.clinton350.org.

Time is drawing short and the list of things needed to do is long. The 350th Committee is seeking additional corporate sponsors and individual donations to make it all happen.  The greater the number of folks who contribute, the greater the fun will be for everyone.

Anyone interested in sponsoring, donating, volunteering or getting more information, please visit the 350th Committee website www.clinton350.org
