The part that we (people on this list) play on the marketing team is to 
prepare the text/materials that are later adjusted/approved by the 
Italo/BoD. The people on this list are the people who get this material 
ready.

As we are all volunteers, sometimes, this takes a little while to get 
organized as we all have our priorities.

If you could, please check out the marketing wiki pages and some of the 
links will lead you to various marketing materials that we have used 
over the last months and we could modify these to suit our needs.

I will slowly work on a pamphlet for University/College student use that 
could be used for 2012 Fall return to study specifically for NA. But we 
could work on different scenarios also if we combine our efforts.

Cheers,

Marc
