- Advertising
M Strange will fix Wellsboro Gazette ad, and K Kershner will submit ad on Blue Ridge Cable TV’s channel 13.
- Materials
We have acquired a sample item for possible give-away use in our pro-life efforts: a plastic model of a 12-week-old fetus. This can be obtained for $40/100 models. May not be useful for us, but rather at a CPC -- can discuss later.
Life Cycle Books stocks a video, “Ultrasound -- Eyewitness to the Earliest Days of Life,” which could be played continuously on a literature table at a festival setting. S Strange will check into whether or not a DVD is available of this.
Next meeting: Thursday, May 11, 2006, at 7:30PM (in board room).
Adjournment: At 8:18PM.
Respectfully Submitted,
K Kershner, Secretary
