I’m not receiving VBS e-mails and updates like I have in previous years. Do I have to sign up each year?

Hi!!!
I would like to know the name of the fonts used in VBS 2017. Would you please help me with this?
Blessings!!
vbsguy says
The word “Starveyors” is hand-drawn lettering. A font such as Origo or Manus could be used as an alternative.
“Oil Change” is used for the word “Galactic” in the logo and as headers throughout the curriculum.
“Londrina Solid” is used for the subtitle in the logo and as subtitles throughout the curriculum.
Nancy Draper says
What do you suggest for decorating a 14ft x 40 ft room. This is the only room we have for bible school. The ceilings are 7 ft high. What covering do u recommend for walks and ceiling for the galactic surveyor bible school theme. We are a very small church and smalll budget. Thanks. I am completely clueless how to get started.
