I only found all this out because I wanted to see if he wrote back about placing the ad. He said it was already printed and that he was printing it again next week...again too early.I talked to the Town Clerk who is immediately notifying the webmaster to stand by to update our DTR page. I have a JPEG of the cover to send her and all the language she needs.What the heck??!!Thank you so much for being available to do this!xoOn Thu, Mar 28, 2024 at 10:08 AM PATRICIA DACEY <pdacey24@verizon.net> wrote:Hi Mary,Yikes.

Cc: Kathy Weld <kwweld@comcast.net>Mike,The reports are not available yet. If people go to the Town House, there won't be hard copies available for them. I will have to scramble to get the Town House to post the PDFs online ASAP.I had been looking for publication after April 17. Before you run it again, let me modify the ad so that is say "bound paperback copies will be available as of April 18" and get that revision to you.mkOn Thu, Mar 28, 2024 at 9:36 AM Michael DeSario <mdesario@hometownweekly.net> wrote:Good morning, Mary,The ad is on page 6 of this week's Dover paper.

Not sure if perhaps I missed a reply from you, but could you get back to me regarding the placement of the attached ad?
Thanks!

To: Michael DeSario <mdesario@hometownweekly.net>
Hi, Mike.
As per Julia's direction in a previous email exchange, I'm reaching out to you to put into motion this year's Dover Town Report "announcement ad," which we are required to annually publish once our town report is available to citizens two weeks before our annual town meeting.
This year, our hardbound copies will arrive at the Dover Town House on April 17. The announcement should ideally be published as early as possible beginning April 18, but the actual date, of course, depends on the D-S HW's schedule and ad space availability.
We publish a simple 2" x 5" ad, which I'm attaching for you here as a PDF. I've got it out to my fellow committee members for approval, but that's just a formality.
Could you reach out to me when you have a minute so that we can discuss cost and publishing date?
I'm around all day today and from morning until 1 p.m. on Monday. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best,Mary KalamarasDover Town Report Committee301-535-4566
