hey guys.  I've finally figured out the thank you note thing.  chuck the magical computer whiz saved the day again.  he helped me order them online and i just got the sample ones mailed to me.  I will order the rest this weekend.  they should be here shortly after labor day.

 

to make this go easier, mail jenn norton your updates for the thank yous...if you don't know anyone and are willing to write some...let jenn know that too!

 

when jenn is done with the list she can mail the final copy to me...i will send everyone their thank yous to be written and sent.

 

ps...jenn norton...i forgot to tell you that i don't want any name removed for the spring mailings.

Ditto... once everyone claims their thank yous, I am very willing to

write more.  Maybe we should pick a deadline and after that Jenn

Norton can assign the unclaimed people who need thank yous?

that you knew the best. I don't think everyone has seen the list

yet, so after everyone has, I can do many more of the ones that were

unaccounted for.

Hi!



Sorry I was so out of touch for a while! Moving was crazy- but I am

finally back in NY and pretty much set up in my parents house on Long

Island.



Thanks to everyone for sending your thank you requests. I have modified

the file and sent a copy to Missy so she can distribute with the actual

notes.

I think I got all of the requests right and then I just randomly

assigned until we each had ~12 names.



I also added some names to the spring contact list. Great idea Jen

about adding names to the list! If anyone has other names/addresses,

please send them to me and I'll add them.  Do you we know when

Kim/Geneseo Fund needs this list?



I'll also start looking into plaque options and will send info along soon.



-Jenn Norton

I've been looking on-line to see some options for the plaque that will

be displayed in the Cart/GIS lab in Fraser Hall. There are SO many

options!



There are some basic decisions we need to come to a consensus on like:

- type of material (acryllic, wood, bronze, other)

- with or without photo

- wall mounted or tabletop

- engraving



I found prices that ran from as low as $20 to over $600. I think our

initial plan was to spend ~$150?



Here are some examples of what's out there- please share your opinion!



These sites had the most examples of the basic/traditional options:

http://www.cengraving.com/

http://www.internationalbronze.net/picture-galleries/pageone.html

http://www.123-awards.com/walnut-plaques.asp



Here are some other types of plaques I found that are alternatives to

the traditional designs:



This site gives an example of a corian plaque with photo

http://www.engravingstation.com/plaques/indexplaques.html



Check out the compass on this website- (for my 2cents, I like this as a

general idea that could possibly be used as we consider other

customized options)

http://www.memorymarkers-plaques.com/plaques.php?plaqID=11



If you have other ideas, please share!

I like examples shown in both the internationalbronze and memorymarkers

sites.  This may be a silly question (or maybe I am too much a geographer),

but can the markers be hung from an interior wall?  I think of markers as

something you see on the ground outside a building, or on the exterior of a

building.



Thanks for the preliminary research.



And Missy, thanks for the effort to have those thank you notes made.  I have

no problem buying 12 stamps!



-Carrie

I kind of liked the Corian plaque... I definitely think we should

stay away from the cheesy "brass and polished wood" traditional

little league plaque that Kristen mentioned.   We all know Lisa

would make fun of it : )



The bass compass is cool, but seems like more of an outside type

marker.  Also its not apparent what it's for unless you get up close

and actually read the words around the edge.  Might be hard to do if

its hanging on the wall in the cart lab.  On the other hand, I

really like the concept and symbolism of a compass.



I was thinking something with Lisa's photo on it would be good.



I definitely think whatever we chose, it has to be affixed to the

wall somehow.  A table top plaque would be too easy to misplace or

move or lose.



Anyway, those are my 2 cents.  Thanks for the thank you's Missy,

they look great.  I had a minor thought on those... maybe we should

all try to buy "love" stamps to use when we mail them?



Jason
