Subject: OWSRCC Advertising Kiosk
Mayor Bush,
The Oviedo Winter Springs Regional Chamber of Commerce has had a contract with Profile
Display to allow them to place a kiosk in our headquarters for which they sell advertising and the
Chamber uses to display business information. We have determined to end our participation in
this contract and have so notified Profile Display.
Any solicitation from Profile Display to the City of Winter Springs is without our endorsement and
we do not wish the City to provide any assistance to us for this display.
Please contact me if thee is any further question on this matter. Thank you for your willingness
to help your Chamber.
Sincerely,
Charles A. Lacey, President
Oviedo Winter Springs Regional Chamber of Commerce
