Hi all - here is our current flyer. I'm working on fixing the text sizes. merged%20flyer.pdf
This is the message I received from Ald. Joe Moreno last night via Facebook in response to our request to have him publicize Saturday's event:
"Brendan - Absolutely ... Great work! I'll try and make it to the event but we publicize all over.
Best
Joe"
Found the info for Saturday's Flyering...
Which flyer design won ???
What time on Saturday is the flyering?
Also - any luck at getting ROS logo added to the flyer? I was unsuccessful at contacting Becky. :-(
Great news on the BTG update! :-)
PS - a lot of opportunities exist to help Dustin - details on Chainlink homepage. I'm hoping to get over to tomorrow's shindig: http://www.thechainlink.org/events/a-benefit-for-dustin-valenta
Notes from Tonight:
Look Chicago Minutes
In attendance: Tom, Jeff, Pam, Brandon, Katie & Aaron
Flyering –
We identified the optimal design. Brandon and Pam will provide edits to the flyer and we will print in time for Saturday.
Everyone be there on Saturday! We will have flyers printed and ready for use.
The more promotion for this event, the better. Brandon will contact Moreno about promoting the event; Katie will contact Waguespack. Katie will ask Chicago Conservation Corps to promote.
The next location will be based upon where dooring occurs the most often.
Alderman Outreach
Continue to contact Alderman and see if we can include verbiage in newsletters.
Break the Gridlock
Break the Gridlock has generously offered to be an umbrella organization for 501(c)3 status. All felt it would be beneficial to pursue. Our commitment is to have attendance at quarterly board meeting, tithe some of our funds if we get grant money (BTG can provide the checking account) and providing review of materials referencing their name (e.g., grant applications, etc).
Next Meeting:
Hey all - I added our first 'Safety Blitz' to the chainlink calendar.

See ya'll tomorrow at our regular meeting scheduled for 7pm at our place.
@lookchicago
Yellow Cab SF hooked me up with the right guy. These mirrors are a Korean product, imported and distributed by a company called Janus Cam. They are sold locally (Chicago) through Erickson Communication. City Service Taxi in Chicago is at present sniffing around making a volume buy. I've got a name and contact number for the guy at Janus Cam and the guy at City Service Taxi. It sounds like the installation of these mirrors is going to happen here in a big way regardless of whether or not Look Chicago promotes or supports it.
Hmm. Day two, Anton's not in again. I'll try again. While we're waiting, here's a link to San Francisco Bicycle Coalition educational materials. I also shot an email to the author of this article in Mission Mission.
