QUESTIONS
-Received a bill from the National Yellow Pages. Do we want to be listed??? The cost is $147.00. I sent in the information not realizing there was a charge, I then received the bill. Nothin’ for free, eh?
-RE: Banners. Liberty Flags cannot include the AA Disclaimer and AA steps any smaller than 1/2″. This will take up about 12-14 inches on the banner. I recommend we use a sticker (similiar to the one we use now) and attach it to the new banners. Please let me know if this is OK with you, the Trustees, and/or AA.
OTHER
-I have been thinking of having each group “register” with World Services. I can have 5000 postcards printed for under $100.00 that will allow each group to fill out the card, send in to us, and we can keep it on file at the WSO, and update as needed. I see a need for it as I have used the Chip and Literature orders as a reference for individual groups around the country for various reasons. A 3X5 card would be much simpler and more permanant. This will tell us how many groups we have, where they are, serve as a mailing list, etc. It is another project that will require the office to keep on top of, but I think it could really help us reach

remote groups. What do you think??? Carrie told me PI may be working on something similiar. Feed back por favor. Any suggestions or comments are welcomed!
