I am getting really serious about attending TCOYD in DC in February. I'd like to put together a badge with my avatar on it with my TuDiabetes identity and then give out cards or something to people.
But I can't for the life of me see any resources for that? Is such a thing useful? Does DHF want me to do this? Is there a standard badge that I might print up just like my badge for a page? What about some sort of card to print up with the website?

When Mad was sued for copyright infringement by a woman claiming to hold the rights to the image, the magazine argued that it had copied the picture from various materials dating back to 1911 (which pre-dated the plaintiff's own claim). The lawsuit was unsuccessful, and the boy's face is now permanently associated with Mad.
I really do need to be careful about saying anything about Scientology.

And Andreina designed a sign for me that I could post on wall or table for meet-ups. I do believe the badges are a really great idea!.......

Hoping to attend too if life cooperates!

I probably don't object to joining, but resent being manipulated into it when all I want to do is find out who they are and what they do. Any suggestions?.....

Are you going to travel all the way from Portland to join us?
