Hey TPC, I wondering if there are going to be Special Edition t-shirts this year.  I sure would like to get one!  Also, the online store makes reference to being able to purchase some of Dennis' photos.  Are they going to be availabe for sale too?
: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts
: The Peregrine Chick July 29, 2011, 20:02
Yes and yes.  They will probably go up about the same time on the store.

For the shirt I'm trying to get the design worked out so that it will print out the way I need it to.
As for which photos, we are going to offer a small selection to start with and build from there.

Yes, you are right Leanna.  I wear a small but my son does wear 3X.  He is 6'4" tall and rather big.  I want to get one for me and one for him.  That is the reason for the question about available sizes.

Yes - they are pre-ordered so we can get pretty much whatever sizes folks need - and yes, we have had 3X available in the past
: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts
: Jazzerkins July 31, 2011, 12:55
That's great news TPC.  I will be ordering 3 shirts this year - one for me, one for my husband and one for my son.  Hope they will be available soon.

Oh, sorry Jazzerkins, I was thinking that a 3X was a child's size. :-[ I thought that's how I remembered the sizes for children, when I was a kid. ::)

Thanks
: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts
: Kinderchick September 21, 2011, 20:22
I don't think the 2011 T-shirt design(s) have been finalized yet, MayShowers, but TPC or Dennis can speak more to this. At any rate, I'm pretty sure that you aren't too late because no one has ordered yet, as far as I know.
: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts
: The Peregrine Chick September 22, 2011, 01:38
Nope, not too late.  Design is getting cleaned up so that we can test how it prints out on fabric ...

I will be posting notes everywhere AND I'll be sending around emails to everyone to let them know when we are about to start ordering.  And yes, I'll once again have a mock-up for folks to check out before ordering.
: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts
: susha September 22, 2011, 21:26
Oooooh!  I'm very excited about seeing the design you've dreamed up this year, TPC!  I'd order one sight-unseen, to be honest ;D as all the other ones have all been so great!!

I was hoping for a long sleeve tshirt this year. Just thought I'd put it out there in case there are others and it become worthwhile considering the idea.
: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts
: irenekl September 23, 2011, 11:46
I'd be going for long-sleeved as well!  Would be buying more than one.
: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts
: Kinderchick September 23, 2011, 13:13
Yes, I'd like a long sleeved T-shirt as well, if this is an option that might be made available. Would certainly be willing to pay more for it. I have several short sleeved PF T's that I wear in the summer but a long sleeved T could also be worn in the winter. 8)
: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts
: The Peregrine Chick September 23, 2011, 15:11
I can certainly look into long-sleeved, short-sleeved unisex (the ones we usually get) and short-sleeved women's shirts.  I'll get some information from our printer and crunch some numbers.  And if we do offer different shirt types, I will get measurements.
: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts

That would be great. I usually only wear long sleeve shirts winter and summer. Thank you for looking into this.

: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts

I'd definitely be interested in a black t if it were available -- having said that, this year I'm buying whatever the choice is since I don't have one yet!  ;D

I think with this year's design we won't have a black version, but I can't say that for sure.  I have talked with the printers about the image and we aren't sure that the bird image (yes, there is a peregrine on this year's design) will print out as well as we think, so Dennis has made a wonderful suggestion (no, no photos) that I am following up on now but I am also working on a back-up.  Basically the original design looks like it should work but its got more detail than we have had in the past and we are worried not enough contrast.  But more on that.

And yes, am getting numbers on short-sleeved unisex, short-sleeved ladies and long-sleeved shirts and will break down the numbers to see if they are not prohibitively expensive.

Will be looking forward to these shirts. My grandson asked for an eagle shirt and a falocn one. I got the eagle shirt on Vancouver Island but I will be getting one of yours for him, for sure. Maybe even the new grandson if they come that small.

I also treasure the one I have of Trey. Peter wears his at our falocn watch. I do not want to wear mine out.
: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts
: bcbird October 08, 2011, 17:13
Sadly my Trey shirt got tangled in the laundry chute hinge, and has a few small tears.  Trey still looks good, but I'm trying to decide whether to attempt patching it and wearing it, or letting it rest unseen in my closet.
Sorry, TPC, I guess this is a bit off topic, even though on the general theme of enthusiastic support for the special edition t- shirts.
: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts

OK, OK!  Off to the sewing room I go, as I wouldn't want to wear and wash it again before mending those holes.
 
At least I'm often wearing the Waddlestompfaceplantwalk, because black cotton is suggested while doing Tai Chi.

   4)  you will need to send me a confirmation
   5)  I will send out an invoice for payment.

Just a note to folks who are new to the whole special edition teeshirt thingy ... we can mail out your shirt(s) or you can pick them up from downtown.  The Radisson Hotel helps us out each year by "hosting" the teeshirts for a few days so if folks want to pick them up, they have that option.

The online form is set up with mail-out being the default, so if you would like to pick up your shirt, remember to check off the box.  If you forgot to do it, no worries, I send a confirmation of your order before sending you an invoice so you can make corrections then.

How about the count down timer? ;D

That is our pretty boy, Beau, out in West Winnipeg.  At the time that photo was being taken, Jules was sitting about 18 inches above and to the right of him - it was a nice shot taken within a couple of weeks of little Polo's death.  Again the photo is one of Dennis'.

Now that I've got to the order page and read the measuring instructions, I find that all the shirts I've ordered in the past have M on the tag, yet differ in chest measurement.  The black "waddlestompfaceplant" is 20" and the other light coloured ones are 21".   
I'm not sure if the black has shrunk or the others have stretched!?   
: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts
: Kinderchick December 03, 2011, 20:40
TPC, can you tell me if the T-shirts are pre-shrunk or can we expect them to shrink a bit in the washer/dryer? Also, are you ordering the T's from the same company as last year? Is it the same label? As bcbird has said, the measurements are somewhat different from the T-shirt I ordered last year, so I'm trying to do a comparison to determine the size I need to order this year. Hopefully, I have submitted an order for the correct size but I'm not absolutely certain. :-\
: Re: 2011 Special Edition T-Shirts
: The Peregrine Chick December 04, 2011, 00:35
We are using the same company and the same line of shirts (Gildan).

Short-sleeve tshirts:
   The Unisex shirt style is the same as all our previous years' shirts.  The Ladies shirt style is new.
Long-sleeve tshirts:
   Same line of shirts as the short-sleeved shirts and the body measurements are the same.


All the shirts are pre-shrunk prior to printing but that doesn't mean that they can't shrink a bit more if they are washed in hot water or if they spend a bit too much time in the dryer.

SO, chest size will be the same as any of the shirts you ordered in the past in either style; Ladies style shirts are shorter in length than the Unisex; sleeves are shorter in the Ladies shirts (both long-sleeve and short-sleeve) than Unisex.

Hope this helps ...

I can't meet with the printers until Tuesday at the earliest because of work commitments, so I have extended the deadline date for anyone who is still thinking about ordering.  New deadline is Tuesday, December 6th at midnight.  Don't want to go beyond that as we get awfully close to Christmas.

We had a test print of the design and its a bit lighter than we would like, so I'm meeting with the printer to see if we can't darken the image somewhat.  Just so you know what we are up to :)

Really nice shirts Tracy!!  They look fantastic and I proudly gave 3 as Christmas gifts and they were happily received with alot of interest.  These shirts prompted some good discussion about our peregrines in downtown Winnipeg and other species at risk.  As for my own shirt - I love it!!  Thank you so much for all your efforts:)

Hi TPC, now that the camera's are done and our little ones have all fledged, I was wondering if you will be thinking about t-shirts again this year?  ??? I also loved the calender that was sold last year :D

Hi TPC, now that the camera's are done and our little ones have all fledged, I was wondering if you will be thinking about t-shirts again this year?  ??? I also loved the calender that was sold last year :D

I have been thinking about the teeshirts and I'm pretty sure I have the theme, now I need to find the right photo or drawing to go along with it.  Depending on the image we may be going back to the "natural" coloured teeshirts but too early to really say that for sure, need to finalize the design.  Ideally, I'd like to have the design done by the end of this month so that we can get the shirts pre-ordered (couple of weeks), printed (couple more weeks) and sent out (up to a couple of weeks) to folks before the end of September.  That's the ideal - have the theme earlier this year than others so who knows.

As for the calendar, that is Dennis' little baby!  They probably won't be available until the fall and Dennis and I will be chatting about how we can perhaps make the process a wee bit more streamlined for both folks who want to pay online and those who prefer to pay by cheque.  Pretty sure he hasn't even finished shooting the photos that will end up in the calendar(s), so bit longer to wait on/for those.

White is an interesting idea Leana, I'll have a look but not sure that it isn't a little "thin".  But worth checking out at the very least.  If we do a photo, we have to worry about contrast and on a light shirt, the image can be too dark and vice versa on a dark shirt.  Natural works because it tends to compliment the colours of chicks and eggs.  When I get the design finished, then we will see what works on what colour shirt then start tweaking the image if need be so, it will be a bit of time before we have a shirt colour chosen.

Isn't it funny how different colors can create a disturbing pallor in some folk. I love earth tones but just like you I get a preview of what I'll look like when I slip my mortal coil. Luckily TPC has great taste and always comes up with some nice combinations for us zombies.

Not sure even I could come up with a peregrine design that would work on lime green or orange.
Did do an amazing blood orange shirt for another species-at-risk project years ago ... the colour was to make sure we were visible while we were working.  And we were definitely visible ... think the space shuttle caught sight of us at one point :D

So whatever works for the majority should rule... altho' I must say, I do LOVE lime green too... LOL.

Yes, I agree with you, eagle, the off-white, natural colour, is probably the best for all concerned. Not too hot in the summer and probably the easiest colour to produce a PF photo on. That's just my thinking. :)

: The Peregrine Chick August 23, 2012, 15:31
Have two ideas for special edition merchandise for this year and I would like to hear from folks about them.

1.  Special Edition Teeshirt - Last year we made both short-sleeve and long-sleeve shirts available but I think that was because the shirts were black.  If we choose "natural" again, are folks still wanting to have the option?  We will still offer unisex, ladies and youth styles however.  Hoping to have the design completed by the end of the month so as long as there aren't too many tweaks needed for the printers, hope to post the design for pre-orders in September.

2.  How many folks still use stamps, or is everyone paying their bills online these days?  Would anyone like to purchase a sheet of 20 stamps with a larger keepsake stamp?  The stamps are good for mailing within Canada and do not expire.
: Re: 2012 Special Edition T-Shirts
: sami August 23, 2012, 15:44
I think a long-sleeved version, even in natural would be good. The colour wouldn't matter to me. (The old orange and lime green bit again). As for stamps, I write letters, not just emails, so seem to be using stamps all the time. Not sure that I would want stamps though.  Maybe because I've never been much of a stamp collector.
: Re: 2012 Special Edition T-Shirts
: Jazzerkins August 23, 2012, 19:07
Personally, I only buy short sleeved shirts and the color would not really matter - natural would be good for me.  I don't mail anything anymore, so stamps would not be for me.  Is it possible to have another style of pin this year?  I would like to add to my collection.
: Re: 2012 Special Edition T-Shirts
: MayShowers August 23, 2012, 20:30
I also wear more short sleeved shirts with a zippered hoodie  (you know the layered stage of life). I'm good with natural.  I seldom mail anymore, basically at Christmas time when I send out cards, so would probably not get stamps.

Is it possible to have another style of pin this year?  I would like to add to my collection.

The pin isn't one of our designs I'm afraid, its a stock item I get from the USA.  There are other birds though.  I currently have a couple of American Kestrel, Snowy Owl and Gyrfalcon pins.  The Kestrel has the same minute detail as the Peregrine pin.  The Snowy and Gyr pins are a flat white.  I haven't checked with the maker in a while but I don't think he has any new raptor designs, but I can check. 

So if folks would like other pins, what kinds of designs are you all interested in?  I can check his catalogue and see what he has - could put in a special order perhaps - or at least its worth investigating if folks are interested.

I use tons of stamps. I have a business to run! Not to mention my mother refuses to have anything to do with the "internets", so I put pen to paper weekly.

I love using a variety of the colourful Canada Post stamps and would be positively gleeful to be using peregrine stamps.

I wonder how Mental Health got the "in" with Canada Post such that when people bought the annual issue of that stamp they paid extra and Mental Health got the "donation"? An extra 10 cents a stamp I think. I always supported that initiative and would be happy to pay a premium for peregrine stamps if it supported this project or even nationally.

They would cost more per stamp than those you would put on an envelope, perhaps prohibitively so, but thought I would float the idea just in case.  I'll look at the pricing and I'll get back to you Cooper since I think you might be "the ideal"  ;) when it comes to possibly adding stamps to our merchandise inventory.

I think it might operate like the duck stamps and wildlife stamps that are common in pretty much every state in the USA - you buy a fishing licence or hunting licence you buy a fish or wildlife stamp and the funds from the stamps go into programs like peregrine recovery projects within the state.  I think Manitoba has had something similar but might just be that we are 10th the size of the USA so the money raised is 10th and you can only do so much.  And it would need to be a partnership with Canada Post for something like Mental Health Month or Week or Day .... oooo, maybe its time to Peregrine Day  ;D

I'm definitely up for a t-shirt, either colour, and would be most likely to choose a short-sleeved one. Although I definitely use stamps, I probably wouldn't buy "special" ones -- would be more likely to make a straight donation to the Project.

Okay, got all the numbers from the printer today and have done a little crunching and I have some questions for folks ...



SO, with all this information, I'm interested in what styles, sizes and types of shirts folks are interested in.
: Re: 2012 Special Edition T-Shirts
: The Peregrine Chick November 13, 2012, 19:29
Also ...

The design was initially designed as full-colour on "natural".  However, the design is much clearer and frankly looks better as a single colour (black) so we are considering going with the one-colour rather than the full-colour because as clear as it looks on the computer, it won't look as precise once its printed and as past years have shown, the simpler the design the better it looks on the shirt.

I am going to see about getting the image printed on white and on natural to see how they look - I'm concerned the white will be too stark and many folks prefer not to have white teeshirts these days.  I might be able to mix and match shirt types but I don't know that for sure, will let folks know if I can and folks are interested in white shirts.

I should say that I'm leaning toward the organic cotton because I can get the most sizes in "natural", but I don't know how much lighter 8.3 oz is and I don't want to offer a shirt that is too lightweight to last ...

Thanks Sami - and yes, in the women's sizes in the original cotton shirt, it only comes in white in short and long-sleeved. 

I've been looking at the other colours in the women's size/style and the only one that might work with the 1-colour design is "sport grey" but it looks too dark - when I visit with the printer tomorrow, I'll see if I can get a look at the "sport grey" just in case its not as dark as the online swatch appears, if only to give folks who want the women's size/style another colour option to choose from!

Excellent timing Kinderchick ...

The printing company has an opening to print before Christmas, so as long as we have enough shirt orders by December 12th, we can get them printed before Christmas and folks can pick up over the holidays.

However, if we don't have enough for the minimum order, I will hold off putting the order in until January 1st just in case folks are away or need a bit more time to decide.  The shirts would be ready mid-January and everyone should receive them (via pickup or mail service) by the end of the January.


You can check out this year's design in the  Project's Store  (http://www.species-at-risk.mb.ca/estore/e-pfrp-store.html)

Same process as usual - fill out the pre-order form (read it carefully - lots of choices!) and I will send you your estimate via email.  Once you have approved the estimate, I will send you an invoice and your order is "in".

Because we need a minimum number of shirts in our print order in order to break even, I will let folks how we are doing next week so everyone will know if we will be able to get our shirts printed before Christmas.

If you have questions, you can post them here or send me a PM.

 :D YIPEE!  I placed my order and am so excited.  Can't wait to receive them.  Hurry, everyone, and place your orders.  These will make awesome Christmas gifts/holiday gifts.  I think I ordered a selection of 6 of these shirts - in different colors and styles.  Guess what my family/friends are getting for Christmas?  Lucky most of them don't go on this site, so it will still be a surprise for them.  Many of them commented on the T-shirt and sweatshirt I got last year and thought they were great.  :-* ;D

TPC, what is the minimum order you need in order for them to be ready before Christmas?

36 is the minimum order at this price - and we haven't had a problem getting there in the past, I'm just concerned about the 1 week pre-order limit - they need a week+ to print them and they close entirely through Christmas and reopen on January 2nd.
: Re: 2012 Special Edition T-Shirts
: The Peregrine Chick December 09, 2012, 15:50
We have 15 shirts ordered to-date, so about half-way to our minimum break-even amount for the order to be placed before Christmas (fingers are still crossed Jazzerkins!).  Will post another update on the 11th. 

For those folks who would like to give shirts as Christmas presents, if we aren't able to order until the new year, please let me know if you are interested  I will be happy to put together a card of some sort that you can give your gift recipient with our apologies for the delay.  Just let me know.

I will be sending out another mass mailing to everyone today (everyone should receive it in the next 24 hours) so we may get more shirts ordered before the pre-Christmas deadline. 

If you have questions, post them here or send me a PM or an email.

Will post an update tomorrow evening ...
: Re: 2012 Special Edition T-Shirts
: The Peregrine Chick December 12, 2012, 10:34
Today is the deadline for shirts and we have 21 ordered todate.  I know of a couple of folks who are away right now who have always purchased shirts and I know another person is trying to put together an order among friends but won't be able to meet tonight's deadline, so, we will be holding off ordering until after New Years. 

And we will be ordering in the New Year whether we meet the minimum order or not, it would just be nice to be sure that everyone who wants a shirt has the opportunity to get a shirt.  It was a lucky opportunity that we could make it into the printing queue right before Christmas but it meant a very short ordering period at a time of the year when folks are away from their computers and more often, away from home.

Also, for folks who were planning to give shirts as gifts, I have put together a couple of "it's coming" card formats - give me an email or a PM and I can put together a personalized on in colour or black and white or you can personalize it yourself.  Just contact me and we can go from there.

For the last couple of years we have made shirts available at the end of November so folks would/could consider them for Christmas gifts.  Next year however, we are going to try it a month earlier and see if that works better - a bit early for Christmas for some, but hopefully a better timing for most!

The New Pre-Order Deadline is JANUARY 5TH, 2013

Our order will go to the printer on January 7th regardless of how many shirts have been ordered.

As soon as the shirts are printed, we will let folks know and even with Canada Post's sometimes "flexible" delivery times, everyone should have their shirts by the end of January.

Teeshirts were finally ready today and I picked them up late this afternoon. 

They look great.  And the organic teeshirts look and feel great for those who ordered them!

The weekend will be spend packing up shirts.

Will let folks know when I've put them in the mail and when they are ready for pickup!

Shirts are at the Radisson ready for pickup now.

Shirt being mailed out are went into the mail today.



There was a delay on some shirt sizes in the colours we needed but now that they are all done, they look great!!

This year pre-orders will begin in September/October so we don't get run into delays again either at the printers or because of interference from real-life.

Question for everyone ... have a design for this year, but would like to know if folks have enough teeshirts in their drawers and would like to have another option available. 

I'm happy to get the shirts made if folks are interested so long as we have a minimum number of orders so that the costs of the shirts and shipping are covered BUT if folks would like to take a break, I have another idea that would make use of the same design with perhaps a little modification simply because it's smaller (and not clothing).  If we have enough folks or rather enough teeshirts for an order, I'm happy to make both available, the second option I don't need to have a minimum order for which makes it easier. 

I know I haven't given you any details on this second idea, that's because I'm really just wanting to gauge the desire for the shirts first - they take more time to coordinate and if we are going ahead on them, I need to get the order information prepped and onto the website.  The plan is (at the moment) to have them in the mail, early in December if we can arrange it - I'll post the proposed shirt design here shortly.  And, I'm just now working on the costs for the second idea and I will post it in the next few days.

So let me know what you think in the theoretical, and then when I have posted design et al, folks who are interested can make their decision.
: Re: 2013 Special Edition Shirts / Totes / Stamps
: Jazzerkins October 20, 2013, 08:16

I feel that I personally have enough peregrine t-shirts in my closet for now. But I always send one of Dennis's peregrine calendars to our friends "down under" in Orange, NSW so I may order 2 t-shirts to send to them this year, as well as one of Dennis's calendars. :)

It wasn't but not a bad idea for a third option ... had them for a few years many years ago, but they were much more expensive than they are now, reuseable bags were not "the thing" way back when and its possible that they could be included in a teeshirt printing, so perhaps even more reasonably priced, so definitely worth another look.  Good suggestion RCF.

If folks are interested in totebags, what size or use would folks be interested in?  I'm trying to stick cotton stuff for a variety of reasons and they come in a variety of sizes, heaviness of cotton, types/lengths of handles ....

Yes, will have the pages on the store uploaded tomorrow - including shirts, totes, mystery and Dennis' calendars.  Deadline for special edition merchandise pre-orders is November 22nd so that we can get them out to folks for Christmas.  Payment is as per previous years - online with a credit card or a pyapal account if folks have them and wish to use them.  Also personal cheques or money orders if those methods work better for folks.

It's been a very busy couple of weeks at work, so thanks for your patience folks, only one more day!

Sorry for the delay on these, new responsibilities at work meant a very busy couple of months and some of my favourite activities had to be put on the simmer until I had a bit more time ... which is now.

I am just working on the ordering information for this year's special edition shirts and totes if folks are interested.  Only things to change seem to be the design (of course  ;)) and potentially the postage costs.

Will have all the information up and active on the website by the end of Tuesday, Dec 16th.  Am waiting for confirmation from the printer as to when the shirts will be ready to be mailed/picked up.

And yes, I will post all the information here on the forum and will email to all active forum members so that those who don't visit at this time of the year won't miss the opportunity to order if they are interested.

If anyone has any questions, please post them here.

The shirts are being printed now - one of the long-sleeve shirt styles we ordered have been discontinued so our supplier had to track down ones they could in town and find a suitable replacement for the ones they couldn't.  The style was still "continued" in February so it caught all the shirt folks by surprise, particularly from this brand as it is a style they have carried for ever and is quite popular! 

The printers need to have all the shirts ready to go, particularly for colour prints like our 2014 design (the more popular of the two designs this time around), because it takes multiple passes to get the image right and so the print job takes over the whole line until it is done - can't set-up, place shirts then stopped halfway through - really kind of neat to see how it works.  Computers make lots of things fast - like creating our designs - but the shirts are still screen printed one at a time, one colour at a time. 

Anywho, as soon as they are ready, I will let folks know along with an ETA for mailing and pickup - it takes me a few hours to check all the shirts, check all the orders and get everything packed up.

Picking up the shirts today, will be packing tonight - may get them all packed tonight, may need tomorrow night as well. 

Will post here and email everyone who ordered to let you know when a) your parcel went in the mail or b) when you can pick up from the Radisson downtown. 

You will only have a few days to pick up from the Radisson so if you are going away or can't pickup - please let me know and I will keep your merchandise with me until you are back/available.

Tracy, does the cotton tote have on it the same picture of Princess as the T shirt? 

The picture in the online shop illustrates a bag marked ADT.

Yes bcbird, the totebag has this year's design on it.  The photo is really just to show what the bag looks like because it is a wee bit different from last year and I don't have a photo of it with one of our special edition designs on it.

Now I would like to know which birdie is saying thanks on your project order acknowledgment page.
Quite the pose!

Meant to call printer on Friday for an update but time got away from me and I missed them but hope to connect today.  Envelopes and boxes are all ready to go so as soon as I get them it shouldn't take me long to get them out to the Hotel and to Canada Post.  And as a note I package the ones to mail first as they have further to go.

More news very soon I hope!

2017 Special Edition Teeshirt Design is done - will post what it will look like on a shirt next weekend.

Pre-Orders will begin October 15th and run to the end of the month so that I can have them printed and mailed in November - and if all goes according to plan, everyone should receive them in November as well.  We know sometimes folks want to purchase items as Christmas presents, so we have tried to set up the order process with that in mind.

We will also have a new stamp design to add to our collection and we have a new "thank you" for folks who donate - but more on that next weekend.

And yes, Dennis will once again be offering his wonderful calendars - but again, you will need to wait until October 15th before you can order them through his blog.

What a very striking picture of Bristol.  It's a great shame that this should be an "in memoriam" shirt, rather than a celebration of a living bird.

On the other hand, it is good to know that all her chicks fledged successfully.

Just to make sure we are all talking about the same thing, pre-ordering special edition teeshirts is not the same as buying things online.  You fill out a pre-order form online that sends me all the information I need but that's all.  I then email an invoice so folks can make sure their order information is correct and they can see what the final price will be.  Payment can be online with PayPal or by credit card or payment can sent by mail.  But not cash, never mail cash as there is no guarantee it will arrive safely.

If using the online pre-order form is a problem, we can make special arrangements - send me an email or a private message and we can find a way to make it work.

Friday is the Last Day to Pre-Order 2017 Special Edition Gear

Deadline for pre-order = November 24th @ 2359h CST

Click here for more information on this year's design (http://tinyurl.com/y9munlak)
 
 
Believe it or not, this is our 11th year offering special edition shirts.  Unfortunately, shirt prices have gone up this year, so may have to look at a small price increase next year. Or we may change how often we offer special edition shirts/totes for sale.

Will float the idea on the Forum in the new year so that everyone can make suggestions or suggest new ideas.

The 2017 teeshirts have arrived! 
 
If you need me to hold onto your teeshirt for a couple more days or a couple of months - let me know!
 
MAIL OUTS - plan to put in the mail Saturday.  Because it is the holiday season, please let me know when you receive your order just so we can be sure they haven't gone astray.
 
LOCAL PICKUPS - I'm just checking with the Radisson to make sure it is still okay to pick up from there - WILL CONFIRM RADISSON IS THE PICK-UP LOCATION SHORTLY SO DON'T HEAD DOWN THERE YET!   Staff at the Hotel change regularly and policies get updated so we always have to get approval first.  If we have to change locations I have a couple of ideas fermenting already :)
 
That's it for now - let me know if you have questions or concerns.  Talk with you all again soon,
TPC

Okay, question to everyone

The prices of shirts have made a huge jump this year.  By that I don't mean the printing, that has stayed the same, but the actual cost of each individual teeshirt.  I can continue to offer our special edition teeshirts at the same prices if we go with single colour (i.e., a black and white image) on the shirts.  If we went with full colour as we have done for the last few years, the minimum price increase would be $5 per shirt.  EITHER WAY we'd still need to meet a minimum number of shirt pre-orders in order to break-even.

For those who weren't around back in 2008 when we began, we order only a small number each year (from a shirt printing perspective) and we don't use it as a fundraiser, we basically cover the costs of printing and packaging and the Project makes a dollar or two per shirt depending on the size and style.

So, do we want to go with a special edition teeshirt this year?  Single Colour (price stays the same) or Full Colour (price increase)?
I have been working on a design so if folks would like to see before deciding, please do mention that in your reply.


If folks have other ideas, please feel free to post them here as well.

Thanks!
TPC

The quality of the shirts is excellent so I wouldn't object to paying more to get one TPC.  I'm good either way.

I'm okay with a price increase, but either way is fine.
