To continue our non-profit bulk mailing status, ads may not promote credit, debit or charge cards, offer insurance policies or promote travel. Aesthetics: Advertisers may determine the design of their ads, but the ads must complement the overall design of the publication. In cases of questionable aesthetics, the Director of Community Education retains the right to determine appropriateness. Logistics: Advertisers are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the predetermined number of ad slots are sold. Community Education offerings will not be jeopardized in any way because of ads. Advertisers who offer programs in “competition” with Community Education will not be allowed to advertise. Advertisers may sign up for advanced ads up to one entire school year (three catalogs). Other advertising opportunities may made available throughout the year. Advertisers will pay at time of request for advertising space. Only credit cards are accepted. Please don’t hesitate to give me a call at 651-423-7701 should you have any questions.
