PocketPreps are provided primarily to [[Speakers Bureau]] volunteers, and also to Active NETs on a more limited basis. Because of their cost and our interest keeping material out of the waste stream, PocketPrep was designed ''not'' to be a typical government hand-out-and-toss piece of swag. It is a "presentation tool" not a "handout." Requests for quantities of PocketPrep will also include one-sheets that explain to volunteers how they should distribute PocketPreps. <span style="background:yellow; color:yellow">.</span><span style="background:yellow">You can download a PDF of the instructions [https://hcpaw.portlandoregon.gov/u/-z7qkBK-6qvpPuqT/a80fa24e-743d-4cb6-aa67-1741cdd74163?l '''HERE'''].</span><span style="background:yellow; color:yellow">.</span>

In a tabling setting, we estimate it takes 45 seconds to one minute to explain PocketPrep to people. So if someone orders 120 pieces for a tabling event that last one hour, PBEM is only going to give 50 or so.
