From:  John Meiklejohn

Attached are the directions on ordering orchard signs from Daphne Van Schaick at ACF headquarters in Bennington, VT.  Daphne is the person who will facilitate our order.

So far we have requests for 5 orchard signs:  3 for Yvonne for R.I. orchards; 1 for John Mirick in Princeton; and 1 for the orchard I manage in Granville, MA.  The cost is about $250 per sign.

I recommend John and Yvonne read Daphne's directions and go to acf.org/media.php and click on the link to display panels to view a sample of the sign.  Daphne recommends we rewrite the last paragraph of the 3rd panel to fit each orchard's characteristics.

Also, I suggest John and Yvonne bring to the Jan. 18th mtg a draft of that 3rd panel's last paragraph.  I will do the same and then the Board can suggest any revisions and vote to approve the wording.  Then I'll send our sign request to Daphne who will obtain a quote for cost and a proof from the printer for our Chapter to approval.

Jamie, I am not clear on how we obtain the wooden frames for the orchard signs or their cost.  I'm assuming it is separate from the $250 charge for the 3 panels. Perhaps you could enlighten me on this by email or at the meeting.
