Yep, this has come up in the past, and some folks (like Preacher, for
example) have created their own using Avery business card sheets and their
own printer. I think a card like this is a good idea (would be great
for handing out at places like Carlisle and the Mopar Nats).
I'm not quite sure how it would work out though... That is, unless it
turns out to be *really* cheap to print out business cards, I can't really
afford to just give them away, but on the other hand, it doesn't seem
right to charge DML members for them either. (i.e. "here, buy some
business cards so you can advertise the DML") Just doesn't sit right
with me. :-) If there actually is interest out there from folks who
would like something like this enough to pay for part of the cost, I
can certainly look into it. Perhaps I'll look into it anyway, and just
see what sort of prices I can come up with. If they're cheap enough,
perhaps I can afford to give them away and consider them an "advertising
expense" and just trust that some of the additional members they bring in
might make a donation or buy a calendar or a sticker someday and cover
the expense. Of course, even if they are cheap, I can't exactly afford
to give a mess of cards away to everybody or that'll add up real quick! :-)
