Leo Still Proving Elusive

I know it's hard to keep the faith when there are no sightings for as long as it's been, but my personal feeling is that it's still worth the effort to try to reach more people. One of the volunteers made a suggestion that may be helpful -- since we believe that a good way of reaching people would be to put fliers out at shopping centers (I like the 1/4 page fliers on car windshields for that type of fliering location), we should post a list of shopping center locations. I agree, it sounds like a good idea, but I don't know where/how to get one other than to produce it ourselves.

I've made an attempt to start this by going to the websites for Harris Teeter, Giant Food, Safeway, WholeFoods, CVS, and Staples, and finding their locations in Arlington VA. I'm looking for a volunteer to perhaps use the same method, searching on more stores and on restaurants in Arlington, Falls Church and Alexandria, to produce a more complete list of shopping centers in the region, which we can then make available for any/all Leo supporters interested in spreading the word -- further out -- that he's still lost, and we are still looking for him. Please contact me if you can take on that project.

The shopping areas I found in my initial attempt are below. If you can take on any of these areas, please do so and let me know. I'd like to be able to report out via the blog if some of these ares are being covered.

  1. I'm really happy to see Leo is safe. He's got a great smile and is obviously cared for and loved. Good stuff.
