A Clarion Call

At the meeting for public input to the sesquicentennial celebration
a representative of the Royal bank committed to financial support.
 I  later suggested creating our own  artifacts and  revenue to help pay for the party  with souvenier beer steins and wine glasses ..
Tim Jones, a  committee member spoke to the Royal bank representative   and immediately there was a commitment to have the glasses made and donated  to sell for revenue.
It's the way things happen when the community is called upon.
I  spoke of having a calender printed  with a  notable scene for each month.  
Later  Chairman Allison reminded  all present of the limited time available.
That's true.
A calender should be ready for Christmas gift giving. 
The committee can't do it all. People  and  groups  can help. 
I have no  idea how to go about  preparing a calender for printing, what it would cost . I have no skill in photography.  Or selling advertising ..
But I  think  there  be people who do. 
Anna, are you there? Mr. and Mrs Yates, I know your love and skill in  photography. Larter's advertising  know their  way about the advertising world..
Mr. Downey is  staff resource  to the committee . His staff publish an annual  recreation directory which  I believe is financed by advertising.
Potential  photo subjects are many and varied;
Faces of people in the tenth decade of life and still living independently.
Aurora  new borns in 2012..
Cool tranquil shady places in the  town
Roads winding through forests.
Breathtaking expanses of sweeping hills, in sunshine, twilight, green or snow-covered.
Paintings of heritage buildings acquired by the town over the years from the Aurora Art Show.
The list is only limited by imagination.
No time to lose. 
Calenders should be ready for Christmas gift giving.
To send to friends in other places. 
Spread the  word.
