Alison,

I'm in the U.S.

I'll do my end for zippo, 'cause it's fun. I can make a CD that most printers ought to be able to use, as I have the basic programs they use, and can make both CDs for Macs and Windows with my programs.

Printing costs vary. Are we going 4/C? I'd suggest that, once I've got a design everyone on the "Committee" can live with, I make pdfs of a single page and send them out with the specs to as many participants as are willing to go get bids from their local printers. That way, we can get the best deal in the country for printing. When that decision is made, the final CD can be shipped to the printer.

If you're concerned up front about costs, get a calendar and take it to your neighborhood printer and ask for a ballpark cost for however many you think should be printed. (Note: price breaks usually start at 1,000, as the cost of printing each piece lessens in proportion with the number being printed.)

I'll need a good proofreader, here. People should not proof their own work, as the errors we make are the errors we miss -- and my fingers have been known to become dyslexic...
