club I.D. card
« on: September 29, 2009, 02:14:13 PM »
I talked with one of the members at the NFOA table/ gun show in Lincoln last week end about making numbered cards for the members. Does that seem plausible?

Sounds like a idea for  later down the road I think. Just my two cents.  :)

The thing that would keep this from becoming a reality is cost. Just mailing out 2000 cards would be very expensive, not to mention the cost of the cards, printing and the time do it all. Remember the free membership?

Any volunteers to start this project?

I would suggest issuing a PDF version of the card that each member can print on their own.  This is how my local radio club does it, to save costs.

I could write up a PHP script to spit out a PDF ID card numbered on something like the forum user ID.

Could probably include the avatar and stuff too, but don't know how much flexibility PHP has in generating PDFs.

Intentions. Do we have a volunteer to get this done? How about the OP?

Oh, crap!  I just missed a ID card maker on my company's silent auction.  That would have been very useful. I think it only brought around 20 bucks.  I think it could be a good idea because we could get some of the businesses to give a discount for being a member of NFOA.  They support us we support them?
