Free Markets V-Day 1

As a part of our Free Markets 101 activities and to help generate some attention during tabling Kansas State YAL members used our creativity to make economics-themed Valentine's Day cards. 

The cards were a hit and over 100 were handed out during the week. Of the people visiting the table over 30 signed up to be added to our list-serv and about a dozen expressed interest in attending a future meeting. Each card had meeting information written on the back to remind them when and where to find us.

Some examples of messages included:

  • In a market free of artificial distortions, I would choose you.
  • Your heart is my gold standard.
  • My love for you is greater than the national debt.
  • Unlike fiat money, you're worth something to me.
  • Love me and I'll never be manipulative or price-controlling.
  • ...and many more!

"We are very happy with the response to the valentines. It was fun coming up with the messages and making the cards. I am excited to see the effects of our members' effort at the next meeting." said KSU YAL Vice President Ian Unruh.

Success! It's good to see KSU YAL ramping up their game in advance of the Kansas State YAL Convention in April.

Keep up the good work this semester!

Great work K-State and very creative/timely message.  Certainly deserves consideration for future holiday activism.  I won't get into our cupid event a couple years ago...
