Budge, The FRN may be able to handle the donations for this project. It get's difficult if we raise funds for other organizations that are not incoporporated or not non profits (who do we send the check to?), but if we take in the funds and pay the vendors directly, we may be able to make this work! If you can come up with some hard numbers on the cost, etc., I'll run it by the FRN operational committee...I think they'll go for it!

Wow, Bob J, I have NO idea how to handle any kind of donations! I wouldn't know where to begin. As far as being incorporated, we are a member of the FRN. Is there some sort of blanket coverage for incorporation in that?

If so, could y'all handle any donations there if it comes to that?

As far as costs, the only cost I even have a clue about is that vinyl covering I saw on e-bay, and that started at $700.00 .. I don't even know who to contact for something similar, or even how to get it put on! As far as the signs, I'm hoping a FReeper with experience can tell us the best way to go, metal or fabric, or perhaps plastic. I have no idea. How to fasten signs to it?

I remember the 18 wheeler that had removable or changable signs that was paraded around NYC when Hitlery was running, but I have no idea who that was to ask how to attach the signs.

There is a sign company here in this little town. I will check to see what they have in mind.

I guess this tells you how ill prepared I am to start something like this.
