• Some have discussed having business cards for TRC.

• Gmail users can subscribe to TRC's calendar, and others can view TRC's calendar, which lists our gimmick rallyes and other events.

• Gimmick Rallye Slogans might be useful for a flyer or publicity item (mug, T-shirt). Add your ideas to the list!
