This message is from: "Linda Lottie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mark......has the BOD looked into bumper stickers? I would love a snazzy bumper sticker for my truck.......All Things Fjord has looked into bumperstickers but the cost is pretty steep for a business as small as ours. I would be happy to pay for a couple bumperstickers......especially if they are "fun and fjordy:)"
