2) Browse this collection of templates and choose the one that is geared toward your purpose with the layout, design, and color scheme you want that best meets the purpose and criteria.

3) Click on the title of that template (it will then appear on its own for a closer inspection), then click “Download” after which you simply agree to their user license agreement. (You might have to install an Active X plug in for Internet Explorer if you don’t already have it but if you have any problems here, the instructions to update or fix the problem pops up.)

4) Open the free printable template you downloaded in Word and follow the simple instructions to upload the logo or letterhead for whatever company, organization, or social group is that is hosting the meeting and then format the text around it.

5) Proof the final document to make sure all the information is correct and print it for distribution.
