Motion for Branded Table Cloths
« on: December 15, 2021, 06:20:47 PM »
Mover: J Mark Barfield

Motion:
On behalf of the Communications Committee, I move to expend an amount not to exceed $700 from the State Fund to purchase three LPF-branded Table Cloths.

Discussion:
This would provide dais table coverings bearing the current LPF Logo, approved by the Board last year. The table cloths we used at the 2021 Convention feature the old logo and are therefore, out of date. This Motion would be a move modernize our appearance and provide a consistent look with our banner and our photo wall.

The Committee recommended cloths are from 4imprint and are adjustable for 6- or 8-foot tables, just like the current cloths which were also obtained rom 4imprint. This allows for adaptation to available tables, such as two 6-foot tables on stage and a single 8-foot table for sign in. The design is dark grey with the complete Libertarian Party of Florida banner logo in white and goldenrod. We could go with white cloths which would allow for the four colors of the logo. More care would be needed as white cloths would likely get visibly dirty with repeated handlings.

Base charge with art setup included: $585.00 ($162 price reduction from the cost of individual cloths)
Shipping: $28.31
Taxes: $38.03
Total: $651.34

The additional $48.66 is unlikely to be used, but would allow for possible unforeseen changes in shipping costs. 

Comparison quote: Premier Table Linens
Base charge for three Black or White (they do not offer Grey): $573.00 ($22.47 savings from the individual cloth price)
Shipping: $17.37
Taxes: $38.38
Total: $628.75


As an alternative Motion, the Board may consider spending not to exceed $450, white or grey, three six-foot cloths, no back.
