Jane's memory

Tie purple ribbons on kids bikes,roof racks of SUV's.Let the world know how valued she was and still is.Time to show her voice.

DanStar wrote:Below is the final design for the Justice for Jane yard signs and wristbands which were ordered today and previously approved by Jane's family. We are hoping that they will blanket the Pointes and make a visible statement about the community's level of interest in justice for her. If you don't live in the area, consider donating a sign for display on a busy GP street (info below).

The purpose of this Justice for Jane campaign is to show the Grosse Pointe community's interest in bringing whoever murdered her to justice. It is to affirm a trust in law enforcements' efforts in this regard and to stand behind them. The campaign items (signs, wristbands, and ribbons) also serve a dual purpose in providing the funding for her vigil. We believe Jane would be proud and deeply gratified that her wider community joined together to avenge the terrible wrong of her senseless death.

YARD/VIGIL SIGN



WRISTBAND




The cost of the signs is $15, stakes included, and the wristbands $5. Cash only. After covering expenses and unsold inventory, any remainder will be donated the GP South High School Mother's Club for Jane's fund.

Today's order was for 100 signs and 100 wristbands, but they can be re-ordered as needed. The signs are screen-printed, durable, and made to last about 18 months outside.

To reserve signs and wristbands, email the newly created mailbox Justice4Jane@yahoo.com with your real name (not screen name), contact email address, and number desired. After their arrival guaranteed for June 6, the coordinator will email you back as to the date, time and location for pickup which will be a few days later.

If you don't live locally and want to donate a sign(s), email your name and quantity to justice4jane@yahoo.com. The coordinator will then email you the info where to send check and get your mailing address. We will find a home/business on a busy Pointes street for it."

Other items (tree ribbons and car magnets) are being sourced, details to follow.

Please feel free to pass the word, put on facebook, or email blast your friends so that there is an impressive show of support worthy of Jane!

PRESS RELEASE

Saturday June 9, 2012
Re: Justice for Jane (Bashara)campaign

Saturday, June 9 is the kick-off of the Justice for Jane campaign in the Grosse Pointe community. This campaign is the display of items with the words “Justice for Jane” including yard signs, ribbon magnets for cars, wristbands, and purple tree ribbons. This first distribution of items is very limited, with future distributions planned as new requests are received.

The goal is to have as many of them on view as possible before June 22, which would have been her 57th birthday. We believe Jane would be proud and deeply gratified that her community joined together to avenge the terrible wrong of her senseless death.

The purpose of the campaign is to show in a visible way the Grosse Pointe community's desire to bring to justice whoever murdered one of its most respected members. It affirms a trust in law enforcements' efforts on her case and stands behind them.

Sale of campaign items serves a dual purpose in providing funds for a commemorative vigil for Jane which will be held later this summer, date to be determined. All proceeds in excess of expenses will be donated to one of Jane’s favorite charities.

This first wave of signs and tree ribbons is very limited as they were sold with no media exposure or advertising --- simply from those who view Justice4Jane.forumotion.com. We fully expect many more requests when people see them and hear about the campaign. They will be distributed every week for as long as being ordered. The wristbands and car magnets are due in by June 15. To date, the count ordered is: yards signs, 46; wristbands, 52; ribbon car magnets, 23; tree ribbons, 14.

Costs of these items are: yard signs $15; wristbands, tree ribbons, and ribbon magnets, $5 each. To buy or make donations, email Justice4Jane@yahoo.com, re: orders/donations. Purchasers will be notified of the pickup date and location in Grosse Pointe.

The organizers wish to remain in the background (not take the spotlight) and let the campaign speak for itself. We truthfully would like little media coverage, but realize that is not feasible with such a high profile case. For any questions, please email justice4jane@yahoo.com with the reporter’s name and contact information. A volunteer will email the reporter with the requested information. Thank you for your consideration.

Since this forum was started less than a month ago (May 13), we are pleased with this progress. Onward and upward!

I am so honored to be a part of this campaign.
It obviously speaks volumes to Jane's character and the love people have for her.
We have been joined as strangers because of Jane.
Now we have made long term friends because of Jane.
There is a purpose for all of this!

Would love to hear about it; was thinking of going to visit my family back in Grosse Pointe this weekend; what perfect timing that would be.

Justice4Jane wrote:As of Tuesday, there are 61 signs dotting the lawns in various communities including the Pointes, HW, SCS, and Detroit. Only 10 days into the campaign, we're pleased. Ribbon magnets for cars, only available yesterday, will start appearing around town as well.

Taylor lived right across the street of the Bashara home. This is a beautiful tribute; I thought you might want to see it.
