Handouts and Flyer Templates

The following documents are based on what different PtP groups created for their own projects. You do not need to use them – but they might be helpful for some groups. We encourage you to add your own images and tinker away to make them “yours.”

Thank you to the PtP teams who were willing to share these documents! If you make one that is substantively different from the ones here (or that you just think is fabulous), email it to us if you’re willing to have it shared! Spread the love. Don’t make everyone reinvent the wheel.
