Folks are welcome at the Shutesbury Library during normal open hours to sign
up now. They have have easy-to-follow sign up instructions and librarians
can answer basic questions.
Best,
Gayle Huntress
Co-chair, Shutesbury Broadband Committee

committee members initials to indicate who will contact specific
individuals. You may have already come up with your own design but I
thought I would share.

do, as that would probably be even more effective.

streaming demonstration. Would we be able to advertise your
movie/demonstration night to our townspeople?
We have not planned anything *specific* yet, but yes, once we have decided
what and when, sure we would be happy to have people from neighboring towns
come and 'experience' what high speed Internet can do.

people at their library to answer questions and do signups. I never saw a
response, did you hear back? As you mentioned, it might be a convenient
location for the valley commuters from our towns.

info sessions on Thursday 3/26 at 7 and Sat 3/28 at 9 and they have said we
would be welcome. They stressed that the information will be specific to
Shutesbury so we are not sharing these dates with the public in New
Salem...but some of our BB comm. will be there to hear the presentation and
to hear the questions that come up.
The dates for Shutesbury's info meetings were posted to the Wendell
Townsfolk list and I encurraged Wendellites to go, if they were interested
and did not want to wait until mid April for a Wendell-specific info
meeting. *I* think it can be worthwhile for interested people from the other
towns to go to the Shutesbury events. People have various different
schedules and whatnot, so events in neighboring towns might fit some
people's schedules. Much of the information is really common to all of our
towns -- the only thing that might vary are the exact numbers, but in any
case the numbers are roughly in the same range. It is also a good time to
get to know members of the WW EC and put faces to names -- most of our
townspeople probably see Wired West as another 'faceless' organization. I
think it might help some people if they can meet some of the *people* behind
Wired West.

no signs available I will try to create some for use at our General Store
and the Transfer Station this weekend. I will share the design if I end up
having to do that.
The high res graphics hopefully should be up on the Wired West website Real
Soon Now (TM).
Lawn/Yard Signs should be in production. Contact Glenn Cardinal -- he
should
have a supply by now. It is probably too early to actually put any signs in
yards, but they can probably be used on other ways in the meantime.

There is a FAQ on the WW Delegate Wiki:

As an alternate, you *should* have access.
