I've thought and fiddled and I think I know what I'll do. First, 20pt Arial font is a no-go as the cards will be to big and awkward - it will have to be 12 pt, but Arial is pretty clear. Size: looks like for me 8-1/2" x 3-1/2". I can get two laminations out of Kinko's 8-1/2" x 11" sheets (three on a sheet would be pressing it). Some cards will be more than one sided, but they can be laminated back-to-back. So, so far, and with credit to those who have provided text and photos, here's some fat-fingering (paragraph spacing has been compressed):
