  Flyers
 
I would be more than happy to create a layout for some sort of distributable Flier, perhaps incorporating our new logo as well. Does anyone have access to a copy machine? Are there any suggestions in how-to mass-produced enough flyers for the event? (...) (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
