I put one in the files section a couple of years ago. It is named
SampleDir.PDF

To build it, I generate an abbreviated list with children in MLS.
My goal is to get the information into a tab delimited document file. I
do some editing in a document file first..
For example, Doe, John & Jane needs to be split into three different
fields. I change the comma to a tab, and also the ampersand. You may
also have some children whose surnames don't match the parents which you
may want to edit.
Then I switch to a desktop publishing program. I establish frames on
each page for the data and link one page to another in the correct order
to form a booklet when printed double sides, folded in half, and stapled
to form a booklet. There is a cover page, a leadership page, maps, and
a meeting schedule page. The directory fits on the pages in the middle.
It was quite a bit of work to create this the first time, but after
that, you only need to update the leadership and schedule pages as
required and import a new directory document to replace the old data.
