Participant Invitations

PDF format; Available in black & white and color versions
One page print-out that can be easily folded to produce four-fold cards. 

The Living Healthy demonstration project 2006 in the Capital Region showed that participants are more likely to regularly attend workshops if given a personal invitation by the host site. Each invitation can be customized by writing in your site’s specific workshop dates, time, and location. In addition, the back of the brochure enables peer leaders to stamp attendees invitation for each session they attend. Printing black & white version on colored paper makes appealing personal invitations to attendees.
