2009 Annual Report

Our 4-page 2009 Annual Report gives information on Consistent Life activites during 2009. Our graphic designers made extensive use of color in preparing it for publication, but it also prints well in black and white. We have it in two versions:

Original format - This is the Report as mailed out to our supporters. It is designed as 11"x17" both sides, to be folded in half to letter size. If you don't have the capacity to print on this size paper, you can print it half size on letter size (8.5"x11") paper. Most of it is readable in the reduced size, but some parts of it may be difficult to read.
Reformatted for letter size paper - This is a redesigned version without a headline crossing over from page 2 to page 3, so that it can easily be reproduced on standard letter size paper. It has all the same content as the original format.

Poverty and Abortion
