Is the idea here to inform all Springfield residents (one 3x5" card per address) about neighborhood resources like MJ and myspringfield forum ? Those with a computer then get further updates electronically through those forums.
Or is the idea here to advertise SPAR and the upcoming elections to more residents ?

The original idea was just a 3x5 card. But those tend to get thrown out. So I created an 8.5x11 flyer with the MJ and MySpringfield weblinks plus brief info and a screen shot of MJ (the one detailing the Miss Maggie project).

If there are orgs that want to piggy back on this that's fine. But at some point we are going to have to put all this stuff in Publix shopping bags and hang it from door knobs.

Personally I'd rather just do the 8.5x11 flyer with a list of the websites of other orgs on the back. Simple.

The main point is to get the word out about these two websites, without any baggage attached to it. People can link in and read and come to their own conclusions. This is not an endorsement of any org, it's an endorsement of staying informed.

If SPAR wants to get more info out there, well I guess they need to pony up some peeps on the street.

FinnegansWake........sounds like something that is reasonable to me! Let SPAR Council shoot themselves in the foot, be informative but don't push the issue! A lot of people may not have computers or even have access! So plan for an alternative method........flyer may be the cheapest! Thanks Johnny for cutting the hours............did you notice that the majority of them are north and west......right in your world!

Finn, let me know when you are ready to get started, I will drop off the cost of flyers, or take them down and get them printed (I am off this week so have time WHOO HOOO).

Jack Meeks has left the board?

Jack Meeks has left the board?

Jack resigned from the board and as treasurer. At the last board meeting his resignation was accepted. No reason was given. Kharis was appointed as the new chair of the governance committee.

Looks like someone picked up your idea. I got a flyer in the mail from Watson Realty which under the title "How well do you know Springfield ?" lists the URL's of several Springfield web sites. I am not sure who all got this flyer. Perhaps it was sent to the whole neighborhood.

[uptowngirl]

I got one too!

When I run into sheclown again..........I will make a small donation towards the cost's on this kids!

[uptowngirl]

I owe Finnegan some dollars!

[sheclown]

Whose flier is it?  I wouldn't know who to give the money to, CS!

The flyer is from Watson Realty. It provides info about SPR web sites, introduces the Watson Realty Springfield Team and lists some houses for sale.

[sheclown]

oh...okay!  That's pretty cool telling about the forums and houses at the same time.

Maybe Crissie Cudd?  If I think of it, I'll ask her tomorrow. We're on the crew painting another of the Springfield entrance signs.
