Sample capture card
(stay connected with your guests!)
"People will do anything for a t-shirt!"
- Find business sponsors to pay $200 - $400 to buy logo space on the back of your shirt and give out shirts to all your volunteers! Keep logos within 12" wide and 14" long space on back of shirt to keep artwork looking good on shirts sizes small - 3Xlarge.
Find fun ways to create invitations for people to reference and to give to others! We put a magnet on the back of these cards for our school families to use for the month of December!
