Re: [AGA-sc] Amusing SFBAAPSism of the day...

Brochures. Print The Basics. Print EI. Print PPS. AGA Advertising & 
Promotion. Begging. Local Club Liason. Web site with a big map of the 
world, integrated with the membership database, that shows other AGA 
members in your area that are willing to be contacted. And of course, 
listing only the info that the member has agreed to be published. I have 
been hording this info for more than a year, but I lack the technical 
skills for such a web site.
