Can you help me get this started

[bartnamerif]

I already searched for this topic but did not see what I needed. I am asking for help to start a program to educate my district on the importance of numbering mailboxes and houses. I can start from scratch but I was hoping to get maybee some newspaper ads or other things that I can cheat off of and maybe any ideas where I can get free, cheap vinyl numbers for the elderly etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Here are a couple of sources:

Scotts Valley Fire Protection District (Calif.) uses a sign-making company that pays the district a commission. Contact Chief Mike McMurry, mmcmurry@scottsvalleyfire.com. The company probably has marketing materials you can adapt.

Ben Lomond Fire Protection District (Calif.) has an arrangement with a local building supply store to provide house numbers at a discount. Contact Chief John Charcho, chief2200@pacbell.net.

Reflective numbered signs are county mandated in our area......but nobody does it.....usually when we take an excessive amount of time to respond to a house without the sign.....and we tell them why it took so long....the entire street has them within a few weeks.

We are currently doing a fundraiser for our vollie dept where we go door to door selling them for 15$....the dept makes them up for $5 each........and we educate the public on the need for them at the same time.
