I would buy/use them for sure.

I would suggest that we also leave the back blank, or at least leave a lot of white space so we as individuals can scribble a little personal message. I for one like to let people know that they can call me for parts or repair help, or even if they want to sell the car.

Group shot from Indy sounds dynamite to me. Keep it simple, group shot, a bit of info in an easy to read place, and then like 1 thing on the back with the rest to write on.

Perhaps every year we could update it with the newest BFest group photo?

Well one that I was planning on putting a card on slipped through my fingers tonight. My fault I should have stopped sooner but feared a communication problem. While driving by tonight I saw it being hooked to a tow dolly. I went in to investigate. Turns out it was a "We Buy Junk Cars" company that was picking it up. They got it for $400 and said if I had $500 they would tow it to my house. Well money tends to never be available when a situation like this presents itself. So I asked if they fixed them and resold them or if it were going to a salvage yard to be parted out? NOPE, going to the crusher, 1st thing in the morning. Sad, sad day :-(

Agreed with Kurt, I say a brief explanation of what we are in the front with the Bfest group pic from Indy, and on the rear, the actual website (beretta.net), nothing else.

If we can all get on board with a design I can take the donations through the donation link and mail them out to people that are interested. The company I use can do 5000 double sided for ~$80

Woohah!

That sounds like the win to me. Send some out to the initial donators, then sell them to keep generating fundage there after.

Sounds too compressed and cluttered for a business card to me, but that pic would look nice on the cover of a calendar... :roll:

My thoughts are that you have - (1), two second chance to get the targets attention. A BFest group shot immediately shows the person that we have a community of nice cars - and that we actually meet in real life. It gives the group credibility. Put one sentence on the front, Join us at www.beretta.net! Then put a bit of info on the back, and leave room to write a short note.

2 minutes of crappy work:

Just my opinion, others have chimed in some agreement. The BFest group shot offers us yearly options for change, arrangement, etc.

Again, just my 2 cents. No need to roll eyes at me. :beer:

I know it's a photo that would show the community support and create enthusiasm, but to fit a good full group shot picture on a tiny business card would be too small and too cluttered IMO.

I wasn't rolling my eyes towards you or your opinion, it was meant towards the lack of a group shot for this years calendar cover.

Here. These are PDF renderings of the 10 card layout (fronts and backs) for what I came up with. Look them over, have to have Adobe Reader for it. These are actually ready for printing. I used Publisher, so not an easy way to do a snapshot of one, but I will put one up later. I printed off one sheet, they look really good, but I want some whiter paper than I have at the moment.
