In the summer, in a huge OST, we had a big problem with this balloon topic. We knew we could’t write on them. The client also wanted the letters to be big enough to see. Labels were created. Large balloons were purchased. The helium tank was used to fill them but somehow, it was not a high quality. Within an hour, all balloons had sunk to the floor from the weight of the Avery labels…and we had a lot of problems in the OST as a result.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Best wishes all,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Birgitt Williams<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'> oslist-bounces@lists.openspacetech.org [mailto:oslist-bounces@lists.openspacetech.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Daniel Mezick<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, September 24, 2011 10:56 AM<br><b>To:</b> oslist@lists.openspacetech.org; mmpanne@boscop.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [OSList] Open Space flip charts, signage and proceedings<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Sheesh!
