Anyone know of any cost-effective places to get post cards printed out?

Boots ...... depends on quantity and quality..... I have done some fund raising and there are a lot of places how many, how many colors, type of graphics...... with the right finess probably with RFTW board approval get discount printing with the right information..... willing to help let me knowClap..... give me something to occupy my time while the cold wheather is here

Boots............Not sure if this will work for you.  The card I made was 4x6 and I had it printed as a photo through Hyvee.  It was 14 cents each.  I got 100 of them and when I went to pick them up I explained what they were for and they let me have the next 250 at 10 cents each.

Another idea is to pass out pins from your home state. I have found kids love them as well. I found this site a number of years ago.

There are probably more sites out there selling pins as well.

Generals Driver,
Got the picture postcards today and gave them to my granddaughters.  If their reactions are any indications you have a winner.  Abby the two year old hasn't put hers down.  Maddie the 5 year old is showing her "picture of General, the motorcycle dog" to everyone.
Thanks for sending them.  The kids will love them.

Dawg..........You are very Welcome.  Glad the General could bring some more smiles to the world.  If he puts a smile on one persons face each day then he has done his job.  Look forward to seeing you in May.

Cowboy, thanks for the link, very affordable pins. Its humbling to see how something as small as a hat pin can mean so much to patriotic kids.

crewchief........no sweat, glad to help. What I noticed about the kids when they got the pin was, like "Hey look a this the pin looks like Texas" A pin is small enough it makes a great collectible for them.

O.K. Casper, I agree with you about "getting" the bookmarks made!  I have made 250 and it has been grueling to print, cut, laminate, and trim all these.  Don't get me wrong... for Rainelle, it is worth the work.  But if we can get them made at a good price, that would be cool.  Maybe you can suggest it to the board?

See you in May!

Whew.  Done with 200 beads for the kids and vets.  That, along with the pins I'll pick up at the trailer when I get there, should be enough for the run.  Check that one off the list.
