Ledyard Conservation Banner purchase.
4.
Ms. Buhle received quotes from Thirty Marketing for a banner to be used at the Farmer's Market
and other events such as the Regatta:
3'x6' banner would cost $75.00
3'x10' banner would cost $110.00
Thirty Marketing could custom make any size. Ms. Buhle suggested a size of 18"x 10', she will
ask for an additional quote for that size. She will also ask about the turnaround time to be sure a
banner will be available for August 3, 2023. Usually, the banners have grommets that can be
tied.
Motion to APPROVE spending up to $110.00 for a Conservation Commission banner to be used
for various Commission events.
