I invested heavily in designing cute flyers and posting these flyers all around Hampton Roads for the club that I was a member of for their last Open House, cannot use Hoedown, the new recruits just do not know what this term means. This club had one of their largest turnouts for the Open House in the last ten years, but not one of these guests read or knew about the flyers I posted! They all found about the Open House through the Internet!
