2006 CHGPA Calendars

[rs54263]

Ok, now that the annual USHGA award nominations are behind us, it's
time to start thinking about calendars; right now I have 3 prototype
versions available for review. I can either offer all three calendars
as-is, or, depending on comments, I might combine images from versions
B & C to form a single version B calendar. The prototypes can be
viewed at:

I have a new plan for producing the calendars this year; I'm going to
buy a color laser printer, and produce them myself. I won't be able to
reduce the price of the calendars (this year), but it will give me more
flexibility in printing. Since I'll be able to generate single
calendars on-demand, I'll be better able to respond to late requests.
It will also be easier for me to generate custom calendars. My hope is
the quality will be as good as it has been in the past, if not better,
and once I've got a better handle on the production costs, I should be
able to bring prices down next year.

In the mean time, pricing will be:

$17 for the first calendar
$16 for each additional calendar
$1 per calendar shipping (waived if I don't have to mail the calendars)

Custom calendars:
+$5 for layout (if you select the images, from my website)
+$12 for layout if you want me to pick images for you
+$2 per calendar

One final note: I apologize to the PGer's, but I just haven't gotten
out to any of the PG sites this year. If there is interest in a more
PG-themed calendar, I can put one together, but it would consist
entirely of pictures taken at the Pulpit Fly-In.

[img]cid:560952fb-380e-11da-bae9-444553540000[/img] Ralph, A and B are Great, I wouldnt change anything, but C there is one change you may want to think about, the months of August and May are so close in background color that it takes a little away from the variety of it . Other than that you've done an excellent job!?
