Re: Hi People - Our group name and T shirt slogan :)

[Guest guest]

I think the idea is to have the shirts invite

questions.....the best method for getting new members is the one to one

invitation either in person with a shirt or possibly a flyer at a local

clinic or support group.

I am going to do a flyer also....I have a lot of dragons to mess around

with.

I think everyone knows of the " Dummies " books for PCs and a lot

of other things. We are just starting a PR campaign using a popular word

and playing off of that.

I did and still have 2nd

thoughts about it and people not knowing about HCV getting the wrong

It does Not refer to us, as

members as a bunch of dummies for getting HCV or not knowing, learning

and supporting each other.

Don't be a dummy learn about Hep C

Ok your opinions

and thoughts on this.

Would this slogan on a t shirt seen by the general pubic convey the

wrong image and message about HCV ?????

I included " online " in reference to

" Dummies. "

Yep, I know I think and worry to much.

Take Care.

Hi Dick,

Should we ask the publisher about using the "For Dummies" wording?

I would hope that we don't have to go there. So long as we

don't publish a yellow and black book cover, we should be all

right. The wording is probably in the Public Domain by now

and I don't think we intend to do any of this for profit.

Back in the day when I actually had attorneys on retainer I always looked for one of 2 types.

Type 1. Attorney that KEEPS you out of trouble.

Type 2. Attorney that GETS you out of trouble.

I always chose the latter.
