Dear Alice:
If we froze a moment in time in your community and asked an
anthropologist to describe that moment in a document preserved
for the ages, you would have .'PROJECT TIME CAPSULE.
By way of honoring your city, Pacific Bell Directory has
commissioned a research anthropologist from the University of San
Francisco, Edgar L. Torres, to develop a profile of Lodi. He
will by means of statistical analysis -of the raw data found in
your Yellow Pages (types and number of businesses), formulate the
community's patterns, concerns, and goals from a sociological
perspective.
This profile, reflecting community life in Lodi in 1986,
7
i
will be printed on specially -treated paper, encased in a time
s
capsule, and presented to city leaders to be thereafter.buried or
displayed at a location of your choice. The presentation event
?
will involve yourself and other city leaders, a regional
z=
executive from Pacific Bell Directory, members of the community,
and representatives :of the media. In addition to the time
capsule, itself, the city will be presented with a commemorative
s
'
plaque.
Costs of staging this event will be borne by Pacific Bell
Directory. Considerations on your part are to decide on a time
}
and location (whether in or out of.doors), .to provide space for
the media, and to obtain any necessary permits. Arrangements
E
must also be made for the participation of the appropriate city
_
leaders.
