Poster budgeting

Hi Scott:
  For the group to approve this, we need to know how much the shipping would cost.
  Thanks,

Scott,
I just sent the following as part of a longer message to the LPSF
list. If you need to move on this before Saturday, or anything in the
amounts below looks out of place, please let me know.

As for the poster, since the meeting is only two days away, I suppose
we should put the budget authorization to the full membership at this
point, assuming there's no pressing reason on Scott's end to act
before Saturday. I suggest we put in the actual language of the
proposal as follows, to save some time on the item: moved that we
authorize spending up to $950 from the LPSF's account, including any
donations specifically made to cover the cost of the poster, to be
allocated as follows -- $300 for the artist, $500 for printing, and
$150 or possibly less for shipping, with the recommendation to Scott
that we go with the cheaper ground shipping option if the savings is
more than $50, otherwise paying for the safer $150 delivery method.

One update -- the printer now tells me he can't find boxes big enough to
ship the posters via UPS Ground so it will have to be on a pallet via
commercial freight. He says he can deliver to a freight terminal near
you guys and you can pick them up and put them in a pickup truck or SUV.
