Subject, Cemetary Sign Quote
Jennifer,
It was a pleasure meeting with you and Jason last week.
I received a quote of$.185 per sign with a total cost of$11,1110 for all six signs.
Moren Signs is going to include a 1/4" pvc backer Wth a finish layer of 1/8" high gloss diebon,d (alum acrylic
composite), with wrap molding around all edges. .
White signs with black lettering and burgundy deco art.
The 3/4" pvc backing will give the signs extra strength to help with weathering and vandalism.
If we split the cost 50/50 each of our cost would be$550 to provide the Historical Commission six new matching
signs for every cemetery in Agawam.
I can fax you a copy of the quote if you wish. Please let me know how Six Flags wants to proceed at this point.
Thank you,
Chris Sparks

Dear Mr. Litton:
Donald Anderson ofHampden Bank/Agawam Rotary Club contacted me after a recent Rotary Club meeting and
informed me of Priscilla Peterson's request to have a sign created for the historic cemetery on Cooper Street,and of
your generous offer to have SixFlags fabricate such a sign.
However, the single sign for that cemetery is just part of a larger project that has been percolating in the minds of
several historical commission members for some time, namely, the replacement of all cemetery signs in town, most
of which were rhade over 30 years ago: 0
•Cooper Street Cemetery-Cooper Street
• Old Feeding Hills Cemetery-South Westfield Street
• Smith Family Cemetery- South Westfield Street
• Maple Grove Cemetery- Southwick Street
•Agawam Center Cemettry-Main Street
• Springfield Street Cemetery(New Feeding.Hills Cemetery) - Springfield Street
Fabricating six signs is a considerably larger project thanjust one sign,and I%%rill understand completely if that falls
beyond the scope of what you had originally offered.
Artwork will be provided to you by the Agawam Historical Commission for any signs to be constructed.
This matter will be discussed at the 29,lune 2010 meeting of the Agawam Historical Commission, scheduled for
7PM at the Captain Charles Leonard House,663 Main Street,Agawam,which you are most welcome to attend.
I hope you will consider favorably this expansion ofthe original project,and look forward to hearing from you soon.
With best regards,
