You're on Bob, as CEO I hereby appoint you Trustee and procurer of the 
club call.  I'll gladly pay the $12 fee or share it with any generous 
members who want to chip in $1 (no more than 11 though, since we do NOT 
want to begin a treasury).

I suggest we do something creative with the first two letters and 
perhaps use SOC for the suffix.  I haven't thought of anything clever 
yet, but even the number could be incorporated as part of a clever 
phrase as in the previously suggested N0CLU.  Numbers that can also be 
used as words: one (won), two (to, too), four (for, fore), eight (ate), 
zero (letter "o") to throw in a few to work with.

Perfect, still no need for a treasury.  But we could ask for a few 
volunteers to pay for having cards printed in one batch?
Or maybe enough of us have capability for printing our own (I use 
WB8RCR's QSL Maker to generate K1/K2 QSL's).  We wouldn't be 
diseminating (sp?) large volumes of cards...
