     We are saddened to announce the passing of Lion Harold Jacobs. Lion Harold was a long-time San Bruno Lion, joining in 1979. He was in charge of the I am the Eye of the Lion, a program where eyeglasses are given out to those in need in San Bruno. This program is still in effect today. He also ran Plastics Fabricators on San Mateo Ave North for many years.

     Cards may be sent to his family at 2220 Kingston Ave. San Bruno, CA 94066

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like “free” “personalized” “complimentary” or “customized.” A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like “for a limited time only” or “only 7 remaining”!
