[Steppes] Ideas . . . 3 Possible Flyers

[Susan McMahill]

When I was archery marshal for the Barony, I made up some business cards and went through several sheets of them. Twice this past week I wished I still had some and will probably make some up this weekend to give to folks that I talk to that indicate an interest in medieval things. I generally include my SCA name, phone number, and both the official SCA website address and the Baronial website address. They work great!
