STAUNTON, VA (10/19/2010)(readMedia)-- The Staunton Parks and Recreation Department will offer exclusive ad space in the department's Winter/Spring brochure. This is the first time in the department's history that anything other than information directly related to Staunton Parks and Recreation has been allowed into the brochure. The brochure is directly mailed to all Staunton residences as well as current parks and recreation customers. The ad space will cost $1000 and will be a quarter page (approximately 4"X5") in the glossy full color publication. Only two advertisers will be accepted on a first come first paid basis. To view the 17,000 + publication that is direct mailed every four months log on to www.stauntonparksandrecreationrevolution.com.

The ad space is being sold to raise funds for the Recreation 3.0 Campaign and to provide scholarships to citizens unable to afford the community recreation classes, trips and leagues. The sponsorship/ad dollars will not only get the advertisers space in the well-known and highly visible department brochure but also constant mentions each time the campaign is promoted in regular media as well as Google and Facebook. The Recreation 3.0 Campaign will headline the Winter/Spring brochure cover. The Recreation 3.0 campaign is a grassroots movement to collaborate and co-create with the community in order to solve issues that are in-line with the Staunton Parks and Recreation's mission. The goal of the Winter/Spring brochure is to inspire community engagement and create programs and forums that will benefit Staunton citizens. The Campaign tagline will be unveiled at the beginning of November.

The Department of Parks and Recreation reserves the right to screen ads that are not wholesome in nature. Businesses or organizations that have a specific goal of community building are encouraged to respond immediately. The messages of community oriented organizations have great potential for reaching target markets via the profession and discernable community brochure. The Staunton Parks and Recreation Department continues its marketing 2.0 platform to promote our mission of providing the best possible community recreation programs, parks and facilities.
