FUSsa-talk Mailing List: Re: Banners for Recommitment for Torture Awareness Month, June 2008

[Carole Rydberg (carydberg]

Hello everyone,

I am all for buying a banner ... a large and  personalized one ... but 
the bigger question for me is how will it be used?  Few people will see 
it if there is only one banner and it is simply attached to the entrance 
of our building.

On Mother's Day Rog, Jan Scofield, and I held signs down by the corner 
and we were overwhelmed by the positive and enthusiastic response we 
received from everyone who passed by.  There was not a single negative 
response but dozens of "thank you for doing this" comments.  We thought 
that it would be nice if we could do this regularly on a specific Sunday 
a month and, perhaps, invite people from Hennepin Avenue Methodist and 
St. Marks to join us.  We regretted that we did not have a banner 
indicating that we were with the First Unitarian Society. Could we use 
the FUS banner in the future?  Is ANYONE interested?  There is plenty of 
Social Action money to purchase one or two banners; do we also have a 
plan to use them and display them where others will see them?
