Question Social cards?

We heard that there is a way to get FREE social cards here in The Villages.

Any truth to that, and if so, where and how?

Aw cmon, Bogie, you've been around awhile. Since we are mostly retired and don't need business cards, we hand out 'social' cards with our contact info to those we meet.

JustUs...here's a recent thread on this subject:

Name and address cards

Been here 10 years... never heard of them either, although I have them! Just never referred to them as that. Made them on the computer myself. Easy! You are not alone Bogie. Thanx for the link villages07.

Me neither. But I guess they really are social cards instead of business cards.

I print my own using the Avery stock.

Ditto for Vista Print. You have 100's of design choices, lots of layout options, style of print, and just pay shipping. About $5 for 250 cards.

JustUs,

Despite your screen name, you're not alone. I've got 'em and didn't know it, too. You learn something new everyday on TOTV.

Folks, don't forget to proofread. I made our cards on the computer. I spent almost an entire day designing the card, and I was so proud of the palm tree picture, they layout, the font...

I didn't notice that I transposed 2 of the numbers in my phone number. I printed (and handed out) LOTS of cards before I noticed my mistake.
