Operational Stickers


Description:
(4/30/07) These bumper stickers (in green, as above, 3"x7") are for sale for $10 each with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the Green River Access Fund.. Starting in September of 2008, all new stickers are being made in Royal Blue color with white lettering, but Diamond Brand in Arden has a couple of the green ones left I think.

The phrase "Operational Schedules Are Determined Daily" became endearing to Green boaters over the years, and comes from its former inclusion into the daily phone message once made for us by the boys at the Tuxedo Hydro Plant. The recording was accessed by dialing 698-2068 --- a number either stored on the internal hard drive or speed dial of an estimated 87% of WNC's Green boaters. Seven days a week it was spoken by a real person working in a small, ancient, and fully depreciated hydro plant, who made a slightly different version of the telephone message by around 7:30 a.m. each morning. But that's all meaningless history now, for starting on May 16th, 2008, it was no longer Frank's voice (or sometimes others) making the recording so many people came to know and love and call every day. No more southern twang rambling off "ahhhhperayshunal sked-jewels are deterrrrrrrrrmined dayyyyyyyy-lee" to close out each day's release report. Now it's an 800-number, 3 prompts, and then a computer generated voice out of Duke headquarters somewhere ---- with no soul whatsoever.

The stickers can be purchased at:

Diamond Brand Outdoors (Hendersonville Road in Arden) ....... website

Rock Creek Outfitters (Ocoee and Chattanooga, TN) ..... website

Green River Adventures (Saluda, NC) ...... website
Second Gear (Asheville, NC) ......website
Astral Buoyancy (Asheville, NC) ......website. <<<< Your only mail order site for stickers, calendars, and beer coozies.



These 2009 sticky calendars and beer coozies are also floating around. The calendars were pretty much a flop and may not be done again. Or, if they're done, they'll be done better. If yours fell apart you can have another one. The calendars are now available for sale via mail order from the Astral factory store (above), $5 each and 3 for $10. Big thanks to Bryan Owen and the folks at Astral for the mail order sales program and supporting the Access Fund.

To date (4/22/09), purchases of bumper stickers, beer coozies, and now sticky calendars have raised over $1700 for the Green River Access Fund.
