<div>Dear FUUSM Members and Friends,</div>
<div>Below is a letter to FUUSM members from the Buildings & Grounds Committee, penned by Al Tuttle, regarding replacement of the Wayside Pulpit (the outdoor sign I update every Monday). A PDF version of this letter is attached. Your input is requested.

<span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt">The Building and Grounds Committee has received a proposal from Elite Signs for installation of a 4’2” wide x 2’4” tall LED sign manufactured by Optec Displays (</span><i><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-style:italic; font-size:11pt">OptecDisplay.com</span></i><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt">).
This size is recommended for easy viewing from the sidewalk and vehicles at the intersection. We are considering two possible models. One has LEDs spaced 10 mm apart ($10,405) and the second is a finer resolution with LEDs spaced 6 mm apart ($12,165). Though
more expensive, we are leaning toward the finer resolution sign for better clarity. Installation would include removal of the old sign, installation of new posts to support the weight of the sign, and placement of the existing arched FUUSM name plate on
top of the new sign. Installation of a dedicated electrical circuit to power the sign is not included and would have to be done by an electrician.</span><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt"><span></span></span></p>

<span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt">Elite Signs is making arrangements with the manufacturer for an onsite demonstration of the two proposed signs and the software/computer interface that would be used to program the messages and their appearance.
Prospective date for the demonstration would be around November 21</span><sup><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; vertical-align:super">st</span></sup><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt"> or 22</span><sup><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; vertical-align:super">nd</span></sup><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt">.
The exact date is yet to be determined. When the date is finalized, we will announce it via email. You are welcome to come for the viewing and offer your suggestions and/or comments as to your preferences.</span><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt"><span></span></span></p>

tape, or power point presentation, the number of messages and announcements that can be placed is unlimited. So, a decision must be made as to what kinds of messages can be displayed. Only FUUSM related services and activities? Social Justice Issues and/or
meetings held by other organizations? Advertisements (as St. Michaels in Vienna does)? Activities in the church by other organizations, e.g. girl scouts, Green Sanctuary? Etc.</span><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt"><span></span></span></p>

church. We need design standards, perhaps based on guidelines provided by Elite Signs and the manufacturer. Messages should have a consistent appearance. Who/what committees in FUUSM should establish or have input into these design standards?</span><span style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt"><span></span></span></p>
