# Ask How You Can Join Our Savings Group

A long blue strip poster with a blank cream oval at left, where a local group would add its own stamp, and the words 'Ask how you can join our SAVINGS GROUP'. It is mainly a plain call to action; the only persuasive device is the group framing ('join our'), a mild membership appeal (bandwagon) with no argument or claim attached.
