[Businessmtg] Calculation Cost of Supplying Beginner Brochure

[Lynne]

Hi everyone,

Jerry asked if we could calculate how much it would cost to give each new member of ASP an electronic welcome booklet. 

I went back through the Greeter reports and in the last year - July 2022 to June 2023 - we subscribed 211 people. 

If we had bought a welcome booklet at $1.40 for each new member, that would have been $295.40 for one full year. You can review the financial reports from ASP during the last year here:

Hugs,
Lynne

Since they own the copyright I don't know how we can morally transfer its content for this purpose. [Thought: If we had a designated Beginner Meeting Day these materials could probably be related within that meeting, a bit at a time.]

It looks like it would be easily handled, but worth having the data as part of the current discussion. Could someone run the numbers please?
