GMCers Brochure
Byron Songer has developed a brochure that can be used by
owners who desired a document that was suitable for
distribution to those who are curious about the GMC. The
brochure is provided as a template. It is fully editable
if users have access to Microsoft Word or some other word
processing application that can read word the .doc
format. Following are reduced images of the example
brochure. Please not that the pane (About My GMC) is
where an owner should insert information unique to the
owner’s coach. Photos can also be replaced is desired.
The brochure will be most effective is printed on glossy
paper stock. It will also be effective if printed on
white paper with a brightness rating of 100 or better and
a weight of 22 or 24 pounds. Anything less will reduce
the quality of the brochure. Of course, it’s designed to
be printed in color. Click on the link to download the
document to your computer. Download the brochure.

Stay in Touch through
Google Groups
At the recent GMCES meeting in Delaware, Ken Henderson
agreed to create a mailing list to facilitate
dissemination of information and announcements to the
membership. A secondary reason for creating an online
membership group is to provide a way for members to
exchange GMC MotorHome and GMCES-related information. For
several reasons, that task has been delayed until now.

and how to join at the Membership link.
