We used to have a bumper sticker - I think BG still has one on his truck that
says "I'd rather be collecting". I seem to remember bringing up the topic
myself, but the sticking point was who is going to design and produce it? Any
volunteers (Matt?)??

As for Bob's membership card, I remember that thread rather well. While I
personally had no need for a membership card, when I was on the BOD and so forth
I made some business cards on my computer which I handed out to folks who seemed
to be interested in natives. The card had my email address and the NANFA
website address on it, along with some other stuff. I can probably dredge up a
template if anybody is interested in doing something similar, or else I can
customize the card and send you a printable file.
