IMPORTANT: Lanyard time! - LAST CALL

[sciroccos at earthlink.net (Jim R)]

I got a new laminator today....lanyards came, too.  UPS should be delivering
the laminating pouches shortly.  Please submit your request now if you
haven't already done so.  Timbo has started on the artwork - created ID tags
for those who have already submitted their requests.

>>It's that time again.  The lanyards were a hit last year, so I'm

>>For newbies: I made "backstage pass" style ID tags for Cincy

>>cords.  Each tag featured the lister's name, Vortex name order
>>other nickname and either a photo of their car or scirocco outline

>Here are a few thoughts to consider:

>Please don't order one if you already have one or won't be wearing

>The laminated part is called the "ID Tag" and the cord is called

>I have to order lanyard cords along with the laminating pouches,
>so I'll need to know ahead of time whether or not you have last

>Like last year, the price for these will be cheap; a couple of
