Many of you have already had a chance to see the beautiful photography featured on this year's poster and on the new AYS web site (take a look). Although printing was donated by Cottonwood Printing (thank you, thank you), there were other significant design, production, and printing costs. So, these posters merit some special consideration:
First, they are meant as publicity for AYS, not as personal mementos. The public display of these fine art pieces will bring many benefits to AYS, the least of which is a greater public awareness of who we are and what we bring to our community.
Second, they should be displayed prominently, wherever that might be. I've framed two posters for display in the lobbies of my company's office buildings. They catch people's attention. Let's make sure posters are located where they will do the most good -- whether framed or not -- and will be least likely to be damaged.
Third, businesses that support our program would make good places for poster display. Business owners like their customers to know how they contribute to AYS. Our posters will bring a bit of beauty to their workplaces and a smile to everyone who sees them.
Debi Goyer (898-4278, CalJ at "AOL") has our limited supply of posters available for publicity. She's responsible for working with you to accomplish the above. If you would like a personal copy of the poster, consider framing one for display -- with an agreement that you can retrieve it at year's end. (Or plead your case to buy one from AYS.)
