Nice job on the flyer as usual... Can we get a stack to the mounds to hand out?

TechJeeper · October 16, 2012, 03:07:27 PM

I can get a PDF of it tonight and post it up. I left it Black and White to keep printing costs down. We should also try to get a few to Unlimited Offroad, Jeeperz Creeperz, JCR and any other shops we can think of... Maybe a laminated copy for the mounds, and see if they will hang on on the booth.

I also posted on the following sites, as well as emailed a nice little note to Flint Journal, Davison Index, NBC25 and ABC12. I contacted the head hancho of GL4x4 to see if we can get some "front page" coverage for a brief time prior to the event.

Sites I have posted on:
Great Lakes 4x4
GLFWDA
Jeep Forum
Michigan Wheelers
Offroad Jeepers
We Got Mud

Feel free to share, post and spread the word!

I invited most of my facebook friends to the event... even if they don't show up, maybe they will send a donation...

I am going to be speaking to Andrew Averill from the Flint Journal at Noon today regarding the event.

I know my employer has a matching gifts program where they match my personal donations to non-profits... I have never persued it in the past, but this year I am going to ask if they might match our collection from the event. Anybody else have a similar matching gifts thing at work?

Flyer revised with the logo for The Mounds thanks to Nancy Edwards getting us a high-res copy of it. PDF copy of the flyer: http://whatliesbeyond.org/flyers/TDayFlyer2012.pdf

Nice job Cody! We should also have an article featured in the November 8th edition of the Davison Index.
