I want it to be something that people have no problem throwing away or 
throwing on the dash of their truck and not getting in a complex if it 
gets dirty or crumpled. I also want it to have a lot of different voices 
in it. Voices not so heavily edited, either.

Wow, way kool. I will look at the photos later.

FYI I wrote the mission statement and that line. But that is a need to 
know piece of information. From the 2006 BOD F2F I was tasked to write a 
new mission statement based on what the BOD was expressing. It took me a 
few months to get the words together and to get a buy-in from the BOD. 
It is now slowly being integrated into the common vocabulary of the 
community.

I am very happy that it resonates for you. ;-)
