Education Committee Members,
Attached is the new newspaper ad that we developed Tuesday. Thanks to Gary Rodosta!
Let me know what you think of it. We need to get this into the DP and DA ASAP and I expect it will take the City a little while to make the purchase. Classes begin March 5.

That ad looks fine to me. Suggestions for the future: I was wondering if more folks might be attracted to go to the registration link by mentioning in the ad that the classes are at a reduced price or subsidized? Also, am wondering if we pictured a mix of older and younger looking folks on the bicycles...might that pique more interest in an older group?

We discussed putting the pricing on the ad, but it’s too complex with the Monday stuff and weekend. Plus residents, vs WVU, or a friend discount. Just made more sense to put it on the website, and if we change the pricing, we don’t have reprint posters. Also adding that some grounds get discount, might turn away someone reading that isn’t in that group. That’s why I don’t drink coffee, because I don’t get the free senior deal like Gunnar.
Also considered possibly giving water bottles for course completers. Nice custom Specialized big mouth bottles are 2.60 + .10 per color on logo for an order of 200. Can get cheaper ones, but it’s hard to use anything but Spec once you’ve realized the difference and have a few.

Can't you tell that I'm old in that photo? Ryan thought so. :)
