For your convenience we provide a flyer which you can fill in to get the word out about your meeting. There are several sections which can be filled out with the information about your group, including group name, date and time, place and contact information. To utilize the fillable feature you must have Acrobat Reader. It is recommended to use the tab button in order to get to the next fillable field. Once you have filled the flyer out you will need to save it on your computer under a new name. We hope this helps you announce your CPA meeting.
