Could short on ad space and need room for at least 4 more. In order for all ads and trails to be updated the committee proposed skipping printing maps this year if there enough left over. We estimate 1,000 maps are needed. Both the orange and green maps could be used. Maps ads would be due in Feb. and maps would be printed over summer using GPS tracks for all trails to be ready for Sept. meeting. Map ads should focus on businesses with trail access. It would be first come, first serve as usual so any map ads already sold would be honored. Mike G. would look into increasing map size without increasing cost.
