YES

I have some presentations coming up, starting in June.  Also, every time 
I "chat up" someone about LibreOffice, all I can currently do is give 
them a business card.  Maybe a DVD if I really get someone hooked.  But 
if I had a few brochures in my case/bag that I take with my 50% of the 
time, it would give them some physical "thing" with information about LO 
to take home andmaybe show to the families.

There are places in libraries, and other locations, where you see 
brochures being displayed.  I would love to get a bunch of LO brochures 
placed in these locations.  Since LO is a free service/product it may be 
allowed there.  Half of the brochures are for advertising for tourism 
locationsand businesses. But there are some for other "things".

I would like to do an open "event" at thedowntown library branch to talk 
about LibreOffice as a replacement for MSO.  There are a lot of things I 
do not use LO for that might come up in such a meeting/presentation, so 
it would take a lot of prep time before I will do that type of open 
meeting.  The "suits" I want to do, as soon as I get the materials 
needed so I can schedule it, is for several of the local Kiwanis 
organizations.  I am part of the Kiwanis organization already, so I just 
need to get my presentation scheduled for one of their lunch meetings.  
LO will be the second topic I presented to these "suits".  The only 
"problem" will be that half of the men/women are over 50 and set in 
their ways.  I would love to do a presentation to the younger Kiwanis 
"family" groups thatwould have no issues to useLO instead of MSO.  They 
have not spent years at work using MSO and does not want to learn a new 
system.

SO
I need marketing materials.  Brochures. Signs, Handouts. All of that 
type of thing.  I burn and print my own DVDs.  Now I have a printer that 
can print 13 by 19 inch paper, if I can find it. It may be able to print 
out 12 inch wide by 4 foot long sheets cut from roll paper.  Right now, 
I print out 11 by 17 inch tabloid/ledger size paper in both the 
"standard" and cover stock weights of paper with that printer. The signs 
are small, but not as small as a letter or A4 size sheet.

SO
please help us edit the brochure content to make it ready for me, and 
others, to use. I print off dozens at atime, or as many as I can print 
and fold, using my home/officeprinters, in the time I have to do that 
task.  I have printed them off on white and pastel colored paper stock 
and used a monochrome laser and/or an inkjet printer. It all depends 
what group of people I hand the brochure to.  Full color, text and 
paper, tends to go to the businesses, while monochrome text/images tend 
to go to the people I "chat up" at various non-business locations.
