Here's the quote from the Courier Express. Sounds like $120 for the two ads. That means we need to have 24 people show up just to break even on the newspaper ad. Then there's the cost of the copies and any other ad costs that come in from the other sources.

I am thinking a 4"x3" ad to run 10-1 & 10-8 at $59.52 per ad. Let me know if this works.

Prepayment is required.

Hello all,

Here is the latest info on the Dining in the Dark exercise for the Pennsylvania Council of the Blind. Sorry for the delay, Aussie has undergone a change in managership and some details had to be re-established.

We would appreciate any public service or non-profit advertising cost-cuts. We are only making $5 per plate plus any on-the-spot donations we may receive.

Please RSVP ASAP with any further questions and/or call Roxanne Pearce or Stephanie Cleveland at Aussies, 503-8303 for restaurant details.

Hank Bloomberg's Chapter of the Pennsylvania Council of the Blind is hosting a 
Dining in the Dark exercise. This an awareness raising event, a fun raising 
event and a fund raising event. This is a learning exercise to allow the 
sighted population to 'see' what it's like to function as a blind person while 
in a restaurant from ordering to being served and then to the last wipe of the 
napkin. Reservations are required in order to participate.

There will be a presentation at 6:00 pm, Saturday, October 9th, from the 
members explaining who and what we are, followed by all who are attending 
donning sleep-masks. The meal will be served at around 6:30. There will a 
waiver stating that you are responsible for your own laundry and that slips and 
spills and other accidents can occur while you are blindfolded. Oh yes, Dinning 
in the Dark actually involves eating and drinking while blindfolded.
