So, we are allowed to print them only as they are? Or can we add our username so when we "tag" people they'll have an idea of who spotted them? I'd get my own set of a few hundred from VistaPrint if thats ok, but I wouldn't want to cross any lines, or cause any drama...

I don't see adding your own name as a problem..but then, I'm not a board member. Perhaps if you asked Kurt (DCMM prez)...?

I made my own about 7 months ago when I ran out of the originals given with the new member kit. I have the file in MS Publisher format if you can use it. If the board ok's it you're welcome to it.

I used Avery 8871 business card stock.... Printed them* on an Epson R260 with very good results.

* I was printing from the cards I created in MS Publisher, not the pdf file, but it should be the same.

We printed them on the thickest card stock we could find and cut them. They are very nice and I am SO happy to have a nice supply in my glove box to tag!

It also helps to have access to a hydraulic industrial cutter

I just printed sheet of cards from the pdf file on the Avery 8871 business card stock and they aligned perfectly! The logo's appeared kind of stretched/distorted but thats probably the pdf program (Foxit) that I use.
