Done with that Judge Persky sign?  It can be reused!!  Bike Palo Alto organizers are looking for leftover yard signs from the June 5 election!  We will store them until September, and use them (with our posters attached on top) to publicize Bike Palo Alto!  (Visit www.bikepaloalto.org to find out more).  We are looking for 24” wide corogated plastic (coroplast) signs, like the ones in the picture, plus the metal supports used with these.  

We could use about 50.

Drop off at 3150 Emerson Street, Palo Alto (near Loma Verde) for Midtown.  (We have red cars in the driveway, and a basketball goal) Just leave it up against the garage door, or against the bushes along the driveway.

OR:  Send a note: email to: bikepaloalto@neffs.net , leave it in an accessible location, and we will pick it up, possibly after 9:00 Wednesday or Thursday evening, and at least late on Saturday June 9.

If you are not sure what these signs look like, here are some pictures.

Typical Coroplast sign, seen from the edge. Looks like corrogated cardboard.
