| I like it being there but I have the same complaint that you do.
I find myself reading the sign and not watching the road as I
am driving by.

| You know, the Elks could do a lot more with their sign than just community
service announcements, and such.
Has anyone seen Steve Martin's movie LA Story? There's a sign by the highway
which gives him advice, things like "you should have asked her out".
That opens up lot of possibilities. The Elks sign could have Dear Abbey
style advice, "seek counseling", or they could do a Chinese fortune
cookie series of vague predictions.
I suppose that wouldn't help the traffic any, but it would be fun.

| 362.3 | Another thing for the sign | GOLF::GALVIN | Candlepins o..........!!!! | Fri Mar 27 1992 15:12 | 11 |
| Hopefully that new sign will be able to announce that Maynard will win
the State Bowling Tournament.
We are bowling this Sunday in Norwood. We were the state champions 2
years ago, and plan on doing it again this year. The competition
consists of about 200 teams from all over the state. Maynard
definitley has the strongest team, in my mind.
Expect to see that announcement on the sign, and wish us luck.

| Hi, I am the person who controls and programs the sign at the ELKS.
It is our intent ot put community service type announcements on the
sign as well as what functions, wedding, banquets etc that are going on
for the week.
If any one has an annoucement they would like to put up and it fits the
guideline i.e. Community Service, non profit type of events, send it
along to me @ OGO on All in 1 or SONATA::GOULD.
Maybe like a previous note refrenced the Steve Martin movie, we could
even see:
SALLY
WILL YOU MARRY
ME?
We also will be lowering the sign by 2 feet and installing face lights
on the ELKS LOGO portion of the sign within the next few weeks. At the
moment all frames are up for 3 seconds, this may be to long and this
week I will be changing the frames to 2 Seconds. Any comments are
appreciated and welcome.

Oh thank goodness... The sign is fine, and the messages are a nice
service. But, I feel the sign is just too high. This play in two
ways, 1) it is esthetically too high and 2) you have to strain to read
it.
Glad to hear it's getting shorter.
