[fvc-wat-disc] $1500 donation from CAW Local 1106

[Shannon Adshade]

Hi Everyone,Regarding the Mobile signs;we may not be able to use Mobile
signs in K-W.Unlike Cambridge,there are strict city by-laws prohibiting
public displays.I've contacted 4 various local sign companies with only
one company showing any interest in contacting some local businesses in
high traffic volume areas such as; King-University, King-Weber and
Fairway-Manitou etc.;that would allow us to place
large,mobile,referendum signs on their property. Even if we got the
required permission of a property or business owner we would probably
require expensive and time-consuming permits to put up a
large,mobile,election-referendum signs in K-W.I have had very limited
success in obtaining any local property/business owners permission.
Finally,mobile signs are about 2x more expensive in K-W then Cambridge
with the cost being approximately $150.00 for two weeks plus
$50.00-$100.00 permit for one sign.If anyone has any
thoughts,comments,ideas or business/property owner contacts please let
me know. Thanks,Shannon

Lawn signs are good, but how much ad space would that buy in the Record?
I 
have a schedule of Record advertising rates here, but I'm afraid it's a
bit 
complicated for me to understand.

There's still time--ad deadline is only three days in advance. If we can

afford it, a big full-, half-, or even quarter-page ad might reach more 
people than lawn signs, but that's just my thinking.
