Re: [us-marketing] Re: Reminder -- Next North American Community meeting -- May 16, 2011 Time: ????

I just joined the list today, so forgive me if I shouldn't step into a
conversation this way.  I have a DVD media printer, and could make small DVD
runs (a dozen or two).  I don't have the ability to create package inserts
however.   I often use see-through clamshells to get around this for my own
work, but that won't help this project.  I am in Maryland.
