WHATELY — The Whately Giving Garden group approved a banner design on Thursday. After reviewing four layouts on a shared screen, members voted 5-0 on a roll call of Terry, Stan, Mel, Caroline and Julie to approve banner number four, which has a curved "sloop" accent on one side. Julie, who prepared the designs, said the banner is 12 inches high, vinyl, and carries a QR code to the Giving Garden page on the town website.
One member argued that "we want people to see that it's free" quickly. Julie planned to send print-ready files to a Greenfield print shop.
