<p> <strong>Regarding flier:</strong></p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>If you can brainstorm tonight ideas for what you would like to see on a flier, I can have one made. Just let me know what you would like to see. I would love to play on the Free Charlie Card concept. Any additional ideas would be great and I can get one made ASAP.</p>
