Sounds good to me.  Rob, Can you come up with the artwork?   Or John?

John can get them from Bimark and transport to Dayton.
Should we get additional buttons for various club meetings/shows other than

I also agree with Don that flyer handouts may not be the best thing as they
tend to go straight to the trash can.
