Bah, More Help Needed

We are going to spend the next few weeks taking down all the fliers we posted during our Lucy Search Extravaganza.  We could definitely use help doing it, though.

We'll be out there this Sunday, and next Saturday if anyone would like to join us.  This task should be a lot more happy than the previous gatherings.  We will also probably bring Lucy along for part of it (how long we keep her out there will depend on her stamina), so if you want to meet the dog who spawned such an effort, come on down.  We will plan to meet at noon at the Carter Barron Amphitheater parking lot again (it made for a good meeting place the last few times), so anyone who is willing to help tear down some fliers, please come on by.

Also, we got a call from the DC department of general services (or whatever it's called) today.  They're going to fine us $75 for every poster, but at least they're giving us until the end of the month.  (I still don't know how they can fine us for posting on utility poles, but we were planning on taking them all down anyway, so hopefully it's a moot question.)  So we could definitely use help with this.  Even if you can't come out this weekend or next, whenever you see a Lucy flier, please take it down.  Much obliged.

    Bright side? At least the call came in after Lucy was home? :-)

    We'll try and make another trip down to help with the de-fliering, and to meet Lucy.

    I live in montgomery county and I think that flyers are not allowed on utility poles here either. When we came down that day I made sure we put the flyers on stop signs because I wasn't sure if that was an issue. BTW, Lucy is still on findtoto as lost.

    Oh taking them down will be much better, especially if people are walking past and ask if you're taking the sign down because she was found :)

    Hey if there's a way that the sheet protectors can be saved for use with future lost dogs, that would be great. We did that with Rocky -- we instructed everyone to drop them off at Dogma, a dog bakery. Then we got them from there -- and promptly forgot to offer them to Lucy's effort :( I don't know what can be worked out if people are unfliering on their own but I'd make arrangements to come get them if a good number are fit for re-using.

    Oh and I recommend having people report what area they unfliered, and then mapping the unfliering . . . maybe by removing the shading on the fliering map.

    I hope I can make it out to do some this weekend, but if not, it's because of school, as usual. No way I can get my assignments done during the week so they all get crammed in to the last two days of the class week.

    Hi-
    I took down three on West Beach Dr. right where West Beach goes into Beach Dr (top of the park). I drove around looking for others in that area but didn't see any.

    Glad Lucy was found!
