Sure: Round up a few roller skating volunteers (or a couple hundred, during the
national RS conference when it is held in Lincoln) and have them deliver
groceries to the elderly for an afternoon. Do your PR ahead of time and get the
local NPR station to cover it and distribute it to the national NPR network.

By the way, my mom and I had fun visiting your museum in 1996. I have not found
any further info on my father's sideline business of supplying roller skate
wheels made from worn out bowling pins to local rinks in the 1930s & 40s.
