Pierre, A good idea, but fliers are for small-time, short term advertising. You would probably do much better by making use of any Spanish language newspapers that circulate in the area. You can either write letters, or if possible, befriend the editor or any journalists, and get them to write articles (or you write the articles yourself).
However, one point that should be borne in mind - whatever you write, you should emphasise that by using metric units, the readers are adding to American culture as a whole, not merely using a "secret" language that only people in the ghetto understand. -----Original Message----- From: owner-u...@colostate.edu [mailto:owner-u...@colostate.edu] On Behalf Of Pierre Abbat Sent: 10 July 2009 03:08 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:45336] idea for flyers Charlotte has a growing number of Latino immigrants. I'm thinking of passing out flyers like this: ---- ¿Viniendo a este país, estaba perplejo por estrañas unidades, tales como pies, libras, y millas? ¿Desea que sus niños crezcan a ser buenos en ciencias y matemáticas? Unase a la U.S. Metric Association ---- Any other ideas? Pierre
