BBB are you going to create a drawing of two people under a roof - one with a flashlight on your calling cards?

We will all know who you are immediately.

Barefoot...you got me thinking. Social cards are something I have never heard of before and maybe you hit the nail on the head when you said..."I started out....." Guess I'm at the beginning stage of this and need more time to sort it all out.

You know what they say about it being hard to teach an old dog new tricks! (ME!)

Re: New this year to the Villages
 

Thank you for the idea Ms. Bouquet.

H-m-m-m... Mr Boomer on the roof, in pouring rain, at night, covering the flashing with a tarp. Me on the patio shining the flashlight up as best I can, even though my glasses have no windshield wipers.

I might have to get a really big card or a tri-fold card and tell the whole story.

Or would such a card give me flashbacks about flashing and flashlights?!

Now, I had better stop hijacking this thread or somebody will come in here and try to make me behave.

BBB you could be wearing a flimsy negligee as you are holding the flashlight. People will definitely remember both of you. ;)

You are politically correct about hijacking so before :cop: I am going to beat it out of here.

I like the term "social" cards. We have used them for years. Alot of times when you want to write down someones' number or address (or yours), it never fails, I don't have a pen or something to write on. We found these "socal" cards very helpful.

We designed our own--good ol' Print Shop, but I like the idea of using your photo on them.

I don't find them impersonal at all. Glad to hear they are used in TV.

Let's face it - during your business life you routinely hand out cards even when you meet someone in a personal situation. No different here - they just don't call them business cards.

Good point Russ

Re: New this year to the Villages
 

I love having the "social cards" . Victorian times people use to call them calling cards and handed them out the same way. Good way for me to remember people I meet and I can scan them right into the computer and add my own notes.

Hope to go to my 1st TOTV meeting Fri.. Can't stay long, (rocky and the rollers commitment), but I will be passing out my social card for future gatherings! When we arrived here we were given a card from a really friendly lady. I had cards made and find it is easy to just say to a new "friend". Here is my #, call and lets do lunch sometime or call when you go to the pool again, or the doggy park, or call if you need anything!................I love the cards!!!!

Ronda, looking forward to meeting you Friday, even if it is for a short time. ;D
