Day and before Memorial Day. Steve Kyros asked about follow <br /> up to his idea to adopt a sign. A company could contribute <br /> money or provide the actual service of maintaining the area. <br /> Tom suggested that EDC think about the ramifications before <br /> proceeding with this idea. <br /> Tom displayed the "Mashpee Night at the Pops" sign that will <br /> be displayed on our Welcome Signs . Tom suggested EDC provide <br /> various public announcement signs that can be reused, i .e. <br /> advertise 911 , Town Meeting Tonight, etc. The Marketing Sub <br /> Committee will work on creating a message that reflects Economic <br /> Development. <br /> A review of the'"'FY96 budget showed a remainder of $580 to date <br /> after purchasing refreshments for the hearing and ads in the <br /> New England Journal. Steve Kyros will request an invoice from <br /> the New England Journal for the purchase of 10 ads at $500 . <br /> Paul Reynolds suggested purchasing Pagemaker at $579 with the <br /> remainder.
