Chapter Promotions in the PDX/VanWa area...

[School Bus Man]

Hey there

Mojojojo I got your message about the biz card. For some reason the website won't process my membership so I haven't officially joined and can't PM.

So I'm working on a small biz card like what we saw but a little more cleaned up. It appears they created the previous cards just on MS WORD with the word art feature. Anywho - I'll PM a few folks with a template for review when I have it drawn up. Give me a week or two as I am in the process of moving right now.

Later,
Mike

Have you been in discussion at the national level with someone about the business card?

Mark - Northwest Chapter Secretary Treasurer

Well the file he has for the business cards is a file I got of Naxja. I figured they put it on here so everyone could make their own.
Is there going to be a problem with him making some for everyone?

Please go to the Members forum and ask. There may already be some printed.

Just talked to Woody, he's says it's ok if we make them ourselves using the format that I gave school bus man. He also has an updated version that he can send me if you'd like to work with that? Let me know how it goes.

It's no problem making your own cards like the ones in that thread... just be sure to update to reflect that there is over 900 members (or omit that part)

So, are you guys just paying for these "Out of pocket" ?

 

[PoSxJ]

Do you know of somewhere we can get them made and shipped to us for free?

 

[Sniggs]

Here's what I do know. The Northwest BOD had a discussion earlier this year about these cards. It was mentioned to National and a member (I don't remember who - I'm at work) said there was a "Batch" in process that we were supposed to get. I never heard, nor followed up - didn't seem to be an issue.

The only reason I'm asking all of these questions is:
I would hate to see you go to the time/expense of printing if some ARE available.

We also did not anticipate a "surprise" expense for the Northwest Chapter without the NWC Board of Directors approval.

Let me do some poking around (and see who's doing what) before you go any further, ok? Your effort IS appreciated!! :yelclap:

Thanks,
Mark

It sure would be nice to get some of these cards made up. I can't tell you the number of times I've scribbled the info down to give to someone or leave on a windshield.

What's all this about, Mark? A BOD trip to Vegas? :shhh:

Well we talked about making some up at our last Meeting. And there's a thread in the member forum that has been resurrected. But it doesn't say anything about anyone making any or when. It's just posts of who wants how many. Sometimes things just seem to move a little slow that's all.

Thanks Sniggs, if you could let me know what you find out that would be great.

 

[ECKSJAY]

Well we talked about making some up at our last Meeting.

When you guys have the M&Gs, let Sniggs and I know after the fact so we can conference on what happened. We don't want you guys to be 'left out' of anything, and on the flip side of that we don't want you all to feel like you have to do things on your own. We'd love to hear your ideas!

Hell, if we discussed something and you feel like we forgot, we may have...so shoot us a reminder. We get a ton of things going on at once and it's easy to confuse things.

Ok
Hey Ecksjay and Sniggs we talked about getting all the members in the chapter Naxja business cards.

After the next M&G I'll send you both PM's with ideas and other stuff we talked about. Maybe there's somethings we can put together on our own and some stuff you guys may already have in the works. Well that work?

We'll have to discuss it when it comes up. The reason for a local BOD is so things are done according to By-Law. That's why we're here. Unofficial runs are fine, but there are permissions required for signage, cards, official runs, etc with the name on them. There are certain liabilities that go along with that stuff...so if you want something, ask!

 

[IXNAYXJ]

...so if you want something, ask!

We want business cards with info on them.

Well I talked to Woody about'em and he made it sound like the reason they made the file for the Business cards were so people could just print them when ever they wanted. I gave it to School Bus Man so he could sharpen it up and make them look a little better while keeping the same format. Sniggs said he'd look and see if someones already printed some up.

Hey There

I have the tools/resources to print a small amount for low cost - and to build a proofed/print-ready file for others to print on their own if so desired.

The card looks alright as it is, I haven't seen any updated as my first meeting with the group was just a few weeks ago. I just want to give it a little clean up as I feel that it looks a little home-brew. Home-brew is okay but if we cleaned it up a little I think it could be a more useable tool for members.
