Hi, Dean.   Ref our "conversation,"  I hope you were able to make mine a 2-year renewal.  

I still have a few of the old, old PUT brochures that I hand out, but I had another idea.

In your spare time (or perhaps someone else could volunteer), could you design a standard business card with the PUT logo, name, address, telephone. URL, and a line or two about what this is about?

That way we can each print cards, which are easy to carry around and hand out.  It's not an original idea.  Florida Trail and I'm sure many other organizations do this.  

You might have a boxful on hand for rallies and such and people can grab a handful, but a whole bunch of us printing a few pages of business cards and distributing them will help in spreading the word.  We could also give them to businesses who might want to advertise.

This is much cheaper than printing and mailing brochures so we can distribute them.  

I will now put my money where my mouth is a go over to your donation page.  Won't be much, but hopefully others will follow.

Many thanks to you and to Dave for keeping our addiction intact.  And thanks for asking for our help/input.  I've been a member since late 2001 and it fills a special niche.

Sandy, I did get you switched to a 2-year. I like the idea for promoting PUT, let me see what I can do with that. I'm going to try and aggresively promote PUT to build the subscription base back up to prior levels.

With that business card idea, I would suggest also creating a Microsoft Word template and posting this on the webpage, letting us know which AVERY style business cards to purchase.

That way we could also print our own and keep the costs down for PUT.

Personally I'm not very good with word as I normally use graphic design tools like photoshop, illustrator, InDesign, Quark etc... but what about a PDF.

[sandykayak]

Bonnie, that's exactly what I meant.  Let us each print a few pages, as needed.
