Design Concept of Calendar was presented. Jim used the
recreation logo on front cover. We may use 3 colors in the
calendar depending on price and advertising revenue. Important
phone numbers such as Police, Fire, Etc. can be put on back
cover with perforated lines so you can still hang the calendar.

to. We can adjust the ads accordingly. Diane Troy will be
at the the next meeting to keep us up to date.
