I moved this from RedRibbonthread 4

Jane – at 18:43 I had an idea for spreading the Red Ribbon information in a different fashion. If we printed one page of information, with an eye-catching red ribbon at the top, we could print the website addresses at the bottom, in a row of 8 or 9, but rotated 90 degrees, and cut in between them for tear-off pieces so readers could take them home for later research. (People make these notices if they offer piano lessons, or if they lost a pet, or are selling something. They tape the pages to light poles or tack them to cork boards in the library or other places.) I have to confess to struggling with the card idea, since I don’t have my own printer. I was first thinking of just copying them in black and white, but don’t know how the back side will look with the picture under the print. Also I couldn’t make it go into my email to send to DH’s office. And it’s page one of one and page one of one, so I just don’t know…. :-\ I’m techno-challenged. DemFromCT – at 19:04 any way that works.

Jane, that is a very creative idea and one that could work well. :)

Good for any kind of public bulletin boards. I hope you keep churning out your ideas!

Black and white, one side only, see who does it first and sends it to demfromct (or lugon) at singtomeohmuse then-the-usual-dot com. A4 and whatever you use in the States, right? :)

Jane sent this text to me:

(Blank space at upper left corner, draw a red ribbon with magic marker after xeroxing copies.)

Upper right: Pandemic Flu (new line) Awareness Week (new line) October 9–16, 2006

Pandemic flu would be like “5,000 Katrinas,” said Dr. Michael Osterholm.

If you are waiting for the government to come to your aid, you will be “tragically wrong,” said Secretary of Health and Human Services Michael Leavitt.

The pandemic in 1918 was caused by a virus for which no one had any immunity, and it killed so many people that bodies were left on porches. Hospitals overflowed into tents. (Today our hospitals have no extra beds or staff; ambulances now are routinely told “we’re full, go somewhere else.”)

The pandemic in 1918 missed only a few segments of the population, those in towns or on islands who cut themselves off from others. How long could you stay home with the supplies you have in your house now?

Go to the websites below to find out more about how to protect yourself and your children. (Websites may recommend having food for 2 or 3 days (but flu waves can last 6 weeks), 2 or 3 weeks, or 4–6 weeks. It’s up to you, in more ways than one.)


Then, URLs would be in vertical boxes, so that we can cut vertical stripes and people can tear them off and take them home.

So now we need to put that into a PDF - I’ll try and do it later.

I just printed out the Red Ribbon cards from Thread 4. One of the folks I work with is giving a presentation next Monday morning and after talking with her last week (I gave her one of the cards that I had printed at home on plain paper), she called me this morning and asked if I knew how to print about 100 cards, front and back, in color, so she could hand them out during “an excercise” next week. So, my lunch hour was spent printing and cutting (by hand) about 125 cards for her. Delivered about 30 minutes ago…we’ll see how this goes—I’ll be talkiing with her again in a couple of hours!

That is great, BB! Please tell us how it went when you hear from her.
