FREE
  • Yes. Everybody likes a FREE gift. It is a good
    idea to have some current copies of the clubs
    newsletter to hand out to visitors.
  • Even if you have a very interactive website,
    avoid giving out URLs. People like to have
    something they can touch.
  • A laminated frequency chart or other operating
    aid is also a good idea.
