[SEL] 2009 Calendar

[Jerry Evans]

Hi All,
         I'd like to publish a 2009 calendar exclusively for members of the 
2 lists I belong to ie. SEL and Oldengine lists.

         What I visualize is the following:
         a) A fairly high resolution .pdf document that members could print 
out on their own printers. I will make it in both A4 and letter size to 
cater for everyone.
         b) This would be downloadable from my site sometime in December.
         c) It would be an exclusive calendar for list members ie. not a 
general download - I could do this with a password protected page or 
something like that. Of course, if members would like to send a copy to a 
friend that would be O.K. - I just do not want to make it something that 
every Tom (sorry Tom in NZ), Dick and Harry (except for Harry Matthews) can 
log on and download. :-)
         d) Of course there would be "no charge". I'd just like to do this 
for list members and friends.

         I would like you guys to send me a high resolution pic of you and 
your favourite, most famous, rarest, most popular or whatever engine. Of 
course it will be nicer if you and your better half (wife/girlfriend/lover 
or whatever) are included in the photo. That way we could put a face to the 
people we correspond with on the lists. I'd also like a location but only 
very vague like "Wisconsin, USA". We do not necessarily want to publish the 
full address.

         If you would include your birthday I can try to fit your pic into 
the appropriate month as well as mark that day as "Joe's birthday".

         Due to the worldwide nature of this calendar I may or may not show 
"Public holidays" - maybe just important International ones - let me know 
your thoughts.

         Depending on the response it would be a 12 page (1 page per month) 
calendar with a really good picture of a members engine or a few smaller 
pics of various members and their engines. The pictures would take up most 
of the available space on the page with the actual "calendar" taking up 
maybe 1/4 of the space.

         Please let me know your thoughts and start selecting the 
photograph that you would like included. Remember that I would like this to 
be high quality so please select good, clear, high resolution photographs. 
It will not look good if you or your engine is just a "big shadow". For 
those of you who do not have digital photo's you could post me a print and 
I will scan it.

P.S. Maytags are welcome :-)

Keep the revs up (or down)
