Doug,

Thanks for the suggestion. Check the revised design. Originally, I followed the layout of the web page header observing the it was not symmetrical even though us old guys are inclined otherwise. The web page header was probably designed by some young buck like Gene Clem who may be more inclined toward style and flair than symmetry.

I shortened the height of the title line to provide space between the bottom of the "y" and the second line. I also changed the font of title line to Arial - the letters don't look as fancy but, I think, the readability from a distance is improved.

Unless someone objects, I will go with the revised design agreed to by "the good old boys."

Tom

Tom,

Just one minor comment on the name tags. Could you possibly "center" the words "Liberty and Freedom" under SWMI Tea Party Patriots? It would just look a little more symetrical is all. Thanks for the hard work. It looks great and will help a great deal for those of us with "old-timers disease". Doug.

Tom, Ken & I like the design for the name tags. We won't be attending the Admin Committe Meeting, but hopefully you'll be able to get our names from the "Not Attending" list. If you have questions, you can reach us @ mlmitts@yahoo.com. Mary

One more comment on the name tags I am going to make for our 7/29 meeting. (See my previous comment that describes the tag.)

After viewing any comments you make on the design, I will start, NLT Sunday, 7/26, making the tags for the 7/29 meeting. I will depend on getting the names from the “Will Attend” list on the SW MI Tea Party Patriots web page for the 7/29 meeting. Therefore, if you have not already done so, please enable my making a tag for you by going to the “Admin Committee Meeting” page and highlight the “Will Attend” button under your name.

Thanks.

At our previous SW MI Tea Party Patriots meeting, 7/19, I confessed that my aging memory causes me a problem remembering names. I volunteered to make name tags for attendees at our next meeting. Please review the design and offer any suggestion you have to improve it.

Just a little about the design. The graphic at the top was patterned after the header on the SW MI Tea Party Patriots home page. My personal view is that the primary purpose of the name tag is to make the name readable from a distance. Thus, the use of black block letters on a white background.

The size of the tag is 4"x3" and, as you can see, is the hanging type. That's the type I now use after the many class reunions I have supported. My experience has led me to believe that most people, with varying types of dress, prefer the hanging tag. Some of you may prefer a clip-on name tag but a clip doesn't work too well on the T-shirt I see many of you wearing at our meetings and rallies. Also, I have a good supply of the hanging type tags which I will contribute to our cause. If any of you feel strongly about wanting a clip-on tag, I will check on their availability and cost.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks.

West. It is just to the west of Consumers Credit union on the south side of the road. One of three buildings on one drive.

I'm from out of town. Is the meeting at 1615 West Centre Ave or 1615 East Centre Ave?
