radio stations are providing a strong commitment aside from what we paid
for. Next time, we will need to focus on the print media and not let up on
what we did for the radio. Jan Stricklin asked Laura McGowan to review
the media releases she has faxed to various media outlets. City Council

TV stations and remind them of the upcoming events. Troy Jensen
suggested when the Commission members go to the stations they take a
long a handful oft-shirts for the station crew.

the sign in procedures of the groups and individuals. The discussion lead
to what would be needed to support the sign in of the groups such as a
