Warm welcome?

Warm welcome?

Letter to editor of McMinnville N-R/News-Register, May 27, 2022

Do McMinnville, Newberg and Lafayette appreciate visitors? Yes.

Are “welcome signs” a good way to welcome visitors? Yes.

From the internet, I read: “The welcome signs surrounding a city can be important markers signifying much more than its population or city seal. Oftentimes, these signs are used to communicate the beliefs and ideals a community holds and shares.”

Look at the photos I took of McMinnville, Newberg and Lafayette “welcome signs” on May 21. Should McMinnville’s sign on Highway 99W be more welcoming?
