Members showed interest in the quote from MG Signs. He offers
10 years warranty on his banners and they can be printed
on both sides. Promotional billboards along Hwy 11 would

total amount quoted on a two-year period, first half in
2010 and the remaining in 2011. Members would like to see
what kind of material he is offering. Diane will ask him
for a sample. Katrina asked if the BIA could have the word
Welcome printed in Obji-Cri on the banners and billboards.
Diane will try to find the translation in Cri. A final decision
