What if we found a sponsor to cover a 4x6 vinyl banner map of battle road for every Shoot Boss? Maybe even someone willing to print all our handouts?

Would that help further our cause?

A pair of banners for each shoot boss (British advance + British retreat) would definitely further the cause. Now if we had a sponsor that would help with the cost, Build-A-Sign will print them up for us at a discounted rate (as long as we permit a small Build-A-Sign logo to be displayed in a corner).

I already have a set, thanks.

I had Battle Road map banners made during one of the frequent Staples half-off sales - 30 x 48 for under $30 each. But the discount is only on the "indoor" vinyl, and already three of the grommets have torn out. I use these back-to-back on one stand.

I am planning a third banner to put on a second stand, to include photographs of the places in the story and portraits of the major characters.

Not necessarily, just I already have mine. What would the budget be to make a set for every SB in the country?

Not necessarily, but since I already did buy my own, in my case, the dollars could be used somewhere else in the program.

Another example of telling the story

Again, we can quibble over details, but a nice balance of names, dates, places as well as evoking the look and feel of the place and people.
