Fliers vs Slips

Part of our guidelines from Global Citizenship is that we can't put fliers in peoples' mailboxes advertising fundraising events, but we can put slips in to remind them.

I erroneously thought I could shrink a flier so that 8 could fit on a page (really small) and make it a slip, but Cathy E let me know this doesn't count. It's still a flier.

So all the Baja Fresh and Papa's Pizza shrunken fliers that I made have simply been stacked in the lunchroom as we would any other flier.

Insofar as slips, we are permitted to put small pieces of paper in peoples' mailboxes with all of the information that's on the flier, and the location of the fliers, but not the fliers themselves.

I took the rest of yesterday off with a headache.

I am taking a personal day today, I have some pretty intense things in my personal life I'm trying to wade through (I have until Monday to get my Mom packed and my parents' house cleaned up and ready for sale, then 2 weeks to get it sold...)

So for fundraisers I think we are going to have to rely mostly on word of mouth. I'll be trying to set up dinner dates for Tuesday for Baja Fresh, and again for the Papa's thing with friends and family- just one idea for promoting these things if you are so inclined.

If someone is willing to make the before described slips and run them past Cathy E to put in everyone's mailbox talking about Baja Fresh and Papa's pizza, I would appreciate the help.
