The ladies at the courthouse have been very kind and have gone above and beyond in trying to help us out. When !found out that we were going to have to notify 774 homes t said it would be impossible for both high schools to have students released to do this task. I inquired if a waiver was possible for both high school. The reponse from the "Fire Marshall's office was that If we did not hand out flyers to each of the homes this is what we needed to do: 1. Advertise in the Yakima Herald...twice a) once...one week before the activity & also b) one weekend before 2. Plus advertise on our reader boards about the fireworks display during half time. For more clarification, we can call Julia at the "City of Yakima" office...576-6658 My thinking is that Davis would need to put in the Yakima Herald to run on Friday, September week before,...and Saturday or Sunday...which would be one weekend before. Therefore, Ike would be need to advertise on Friday, October 17th for the one week before.... for the one weekend before. '—Take care! Have a super great day! I feel much better about this whole activity!
