Kathy, Janet,

Yes, MOS has "business cards" that have the MOS logo on the front with "The Maryland Ornithological Society", the web site URL and a 1-800 number (which may need to be removed). on the back of the card it says "We and other birders who visit your area to observe birds and other wildlifr will continue to support your community's businesses. Please help us protect and preserve open spaces for birds and other wildlife".

I have a small stack of the cards.
