Suggested Mottos & Quotations

Suggested Mottos for Announcements

You may consider adding a quotation, or motto to the page of the announcement opposite your main text. If you would like to do so, simply enter the number on the order form -- there is no need to write out the whole thing. (However, if using the verse within your main announcement text, you will need to write it out.) There is a charge to use an area of additional text; the order form for your design will give the details, as well as a link back to this page.
