All in a Name: The Obama Way Committee wants Seaside to be the first Central Coast city to honor the president with a street sign. Nic Coury
Yes They Can
Obama Way Committee is halfway to fundraising goal.
Monday, May 17, 2010
The proponents of adding the name Obama Way to Seaside's Broadway Avenue have raised half the money they need to pay for the signs, according to a May 15 press release.
In mid-March, the City Council approved adding commemorative Obama Way signs to Broadway Avenue signage, on the condition that the Obama Way Committee - the citizen group that spearheaded the effort - pay the $10,400 installation fee.
A contribution of $250 will pay for minor intersection signage, and $600 covers a major intersection. Donors of $100 or more will receive an "Obama Way" T-shirt, and those who pay for an entire street sign will be thanked with a full page in the Obama Way dedication booklet.
Donations have already reaced the halfway point of $5,200, according to Obama Way Committee Chairman Morris McDaniel. Donations can be mailed to: Obama Way Benefit Fund, P.O. Box 55, Seaside, CA 93955.
