<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Hi all,<br>
<br>
The plans for large signs have changed. Apparently the provincial campaign has
gone ahead and ordered 1000 large signs, and I have asked for 80 of these
(since the limit is 20 per riding and we have four). I've already replied to
the above email. <br>
<br>
So, this affects our plans in two ways:<br>
1. We now have $1000 more to spend than we had originally thought. This is a
good thing rather than a bad thing, so let's everyone put on their thinking
caps and think of ways to do this creatively and effectively. <br>
<br>
2. We will have 80 signs. These signs don't come with stakes. They also don't
come with sledgehammers, or a knowledge of the regional bylaws regarding the
use of election signs. We need to organize to get these signs up pronto. <br>
<br>
<b><u><span style='font-weight:bold'>Regional Bylaws:</span></u></b><br>
<a href="http://www.city.waterloo.on.ca/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabID=589">http://www.city.waterloo.on.ca/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabID=589
</a><br>
<br>
<a
href="http://www.region.waterloo.on.ca/web/region.nsf/Docid/06175693979A892A85256C5D005576AE?OpenDocument">http://www.region.waterloo.on.ca/web/region.nsf/Docid/06175693979A892A85256C5D005576AE?OpenDocument
</a><br>
<br>
<b><u><span style='font-weight:bold'>This is what we need:</span></u></b><br>
<br>
160 - five foot long pointed stakes; two for each sign. Will someone with a car
purchase these? You will be reimbursed if you keep the receipt. <br>
<br>
Teams to get ALL these signs up on Thursday afternoon / evening and Friday
afternoon / evening. Those with cars who can drive and those without cars
who can drive stakes into the ground should pair up. Each team will need (1)
staple gun with staples or heavy-duty screwdriver with screws and (2) a
sledgehammer to drive the stakes into the ground. <br>
<br>
We will also need one person who can drive to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Toronto</st1:place></st1:City> to get our signs on Wednesday
evening. They will fill the back of your car. By my estimation, the dimensions
will be three feet by four feet by three feet (3x4x3). Contact me for more
information if you can do this. <br>
<br>
One last note, if nobody can go canvassing malls with Tracey on Thursday
afternoon, then perhaps I will suggest to her that she can be my driver, and
that we can go around putting up large signs. I'm willing to take an afternoon
off for this. <br>
<br>
Please reply to this email if you have any of the supplies mentioned above
(sledgehammers and staple guns especially) or can volunteer time (and when that
time is) to either drive or drive stakes.<br>
<br>
Thanks everyone! <br>

Hi Gary,<br>
<br>
This is Derek Kraan. My phone number is: 519-342-5345. I'm representing the
regional campaign for Waterloo Region. We have 4 ridings (Kitchener-Waterloo,
Kitchener-Centre, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Cambridge</st1:place></st1:City>
and Kitchener-Conestoga) to take care of, and we will be able to use the full
80 signs. <br>
<br>
I'm pretty sure that we can pick them up in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Toronto</st1:place></st1:City>, but I'm not sure about the details
yet.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Since not all will have the capacity to make use of this order, however, we'll
offer 20 signs for each riding that wants them. And, if we run out, we run out.
