- Outside Sign Project: Daryl brought in 2 pictures of Signs. One was a Digital Sign that had room under for Additional announcements that was not digital. This sign was done in phases over several years.
The second picture was a sign that Daryl designed. It was not digital but looked amazing. Discussion ensued and Neil asked that we all keep our eyes open and look at different Church Signs around and take pictures. It was then discussed that we get an idea of cost from a Sign Company so we know about what we are looking at financially. Several members of the committee liked the idea of going digitally, but doing in phases.
