OLD BUSINESS
Seasonal Banners
Mr. Corder stated the agenda packets contained information and samples from the
companies contacted who make seasonal banners. Only 3 of the 7 companies contacted
responded. At this time Mr. Corder introduced AI Nicastro to the Board to give
information on his company, East Coast Vinyl Graphix.
Mr. Nicastro handed out samples which he stated were made of 10 mil vinyl, and also a
chart of the available colors. He stated they would be double sided and are guaranteed
for 7 years. He gave a price of $125.00 each which includes the brackets also. Any
amount over 50 ordered, could qualify for a 10 - 15% discount. It was asked if we
ordered now, would we receive them before this holiday season and Mr. Nicastro replied
yes. The Board compared the Vinyl Graphix prices to those of the other companies and
agreed a lot could be saved by choosing Vinyl Graphix; also the warranty was much
better. The Board also liked the idea that this company is local. After looking at the
many samples of banners, the Board agreed on red and green for colors and designs
which included a wreath, a tree, snowflakes with "Happy Holidays" written on it and a
dove with "Peace and Goodwill". Mr. Visconti moved to approve East Coast Vinyl
Graphix as the company of choice to make the banners, (approximately 100) and to have
them made in the above mentioned colors and designs. Mrs. Trout seconded the motion
and it CARRIED 5-0.
