Postcard to Candler Park Residents

There are over 1,500 addresses in Candler Park.  Despite free membership, CPNO has about 300 registered members (many pairs of members share an address).  I think CPNO could gain new members by reaching out to our neighbors in a new way so I’m recommending that we send a postcard.  I am hopeful that a new type of announcement about goings on in our neighborhood (childcare and food at membership meetings, movie nights, renew membership online, etc.), will encourage more people to get involved.  Since a member expressed concern over the trees that would have to be killed to send these postcards, I am also recommending that $125 be donated to Trees Atlanta.  At our August meeting, I will propose that CPNO approve funding for the $1,649 to send postcards to the addresses of all non-members in Candler Park.  This cost will cover the maximum that CPNO would spend: $1,524 for 2,500 postcards (minimum order, including postage) and the $125 donation to Trees Atlanta to plant five trees (I think only one tree will actually have to be sacrificed to produce the postcards).  Please contact me with detailed questions by e-mailing treasurer@candlerpark.org
