[chambernews] Upcoming project

[Karen Amundson (Chamber)]

Dear Chamber Members,

I'm so excited to let you in on a little secret - something I've been 
working on for a while now - and it's finally time to let you in on it! 
I'm chair dancing!

Thanks to some wonderful folks here in the community - Lonnie Ness and 
Jack L'Heureux in particular - it's finally come to fruition. We'll be 
starting up the highway 65 banner project! The stars have aligned, the 
moons have converged, and we all have a great opportunity to gain from it.

This is an overview that I'd like for you to take a look at. You'll note 
the attached photos/designs, please open and see. There's a photoshopped 
design of the highway with all the banners and flags in place, a design 
of the Vasaloppet banner (community banner), a blue and white rider that 
will display vertically (business banner), and a design of a city banner 
with shop locally and downtown pointer.

Our local businesses will be able to passively advertise your business 
along the 65 corridor in Mora for a very low cost. Also, your banner 
will certainly be a part of a beautiful and lively look for our community.

The Chamber has the opportunity to sell these banners to you for $200.00 
each with a $50.00 annual upkeep fee (in case it needs to be replaced 
along the way). These banners will be up constantly for 3 years. The 
banner size is 15" x 80". They will be white text on blue banner (as you 
see). Double sided.

We'd like you all to have the first opportunity to take a pole or 2. 
There are 38 poles on hwy. 65. The goal is to get them all sold - along 
with the bigger community banners - by Vasaloppet 2015. All on a first 
come, first served basis.

The larger sized community banners will be up for 3 months at a time, 
then switched out for occasions or seasons by the City of Mora. These 
larger, community minded banners will cost $150.00 each, but we ask that 
organizations purchase a minimum of 4 at a time. We hope that the Mora 
schools, the City of Mora, & the Vasaloppet will get on board with 
these. The 50 smaller banners along Forest and Downtown will carry the 
same community designs, but will cost only $75.00 each.

Yesterday and last night, the Mora EDA and City Council agreed to help 
us with the cost of this project so that we could keep the price of the 
banners reasonably priced.  We can't thank them enough because 
otherwise, this couldn't have happened.

I hope that you will agree that this will add life, color, vibrancy, and 
will enrich our community.

Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing a banner (or 2, 
or 3...). I will be thrilled to come and discuss it all with you.

Grins!
Karen.
