[alfa] Was Alfa spotting in Austin - became ID cards - AROC related

["Gordy Hyde" <gohyde@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A couple of comments wrt Peter's following comments -
The NWARC printed up business cards for all of it's board members and any of 
the general membership that care to carry them.  One side has a photo of one 
of various nice Alfas from our calendars a few years ago and the other side 
has an introductory statement, website, contact information, etc for the 
NWARC and individual.  See an Alfa (without an AROC or NWARC decal) ?? Place 
one of these under the windshield wiper.  Our membership went up about 20% 
at the same time we began using the cards.  (We were implementing other 
membership incentives at the same time.)
I just received a letter from George Linton, AROC BoD, sent to selected 
members of each chapter, requesting input from the AROC membership on what 
AROC can do for the individual chapters.  Here's an opportunity to comment.  
My suggestion is to contact George or Marc Mosko (e-mail addresses in the 
Owner) and give him these and other ideas for how National can help.
