needs priority for immediate action and that the "Best of
Both Worlds" revision can wait until present supply is used.

Blackwood distributed some cost estimates for the
brochure work but commented that the numbers for #1 were
not correct since he had misunderstood the desires of the
committee. The numbers for #2 are pertinent for initial
discussion.

was asked to proceed on the "Visitors Guide" project, using
the same committee as the sounding board for ideas. Mark
Blackwood agreed to be ready with a conceptual design within
30 days for review of the Commission.
