If we can reduce the left hand side spacing of the bullets from the side 
of the "frame" and reduce the spacing from the bullet to the text, THEN 
we might be able to increase the amount of text, somewhat, or help with 
the text formatting from line to line.

What it will finally look like will depend on whether you are using 
Letter or A4 paper.  But anything to reduce the unneeded spacing on 
either side of the bullets would help with the look of the brochure.

As the contend is changed, for the better, I have been replacing the 
older version of the Community brochure on my DVD and web site with the 
newer and better ones.  Right now, I will list the Letter Paper version, 
but later I will include the A4 version as well.
