Hi There!  I'm an amateur designy person and I would love to help out,
please send along some content so I can make it pretty!  What size
fliers are we all thinking - I think probably half-sheets that can be
printed in B&W on 8.5"x11 might work nicely especially for the "ad"
type fliers- or do you want to pack more info on them?  Personally I
am more likely to give fridge real-estate to smaller fliers - larger
ones often end up folded into wads in my pocket & tossed accidently.

I feel like the best fliers I receive have *short *sweet *directly
informative messages, with clean graphics and URLS or the like so I
can explore them later.  If we have access to two-sided printing we
could combine advertisement & informative fliers maybe, one side to
draw them in and another side that they can peruse on their next T
ride.  Just some ideas.

TFC!!
