Schatzie, thanks for taking on the job of coordinating shirts. You propably already know most of this but we order shirts for the fire department all year long so here's my input for you. Darn found out that it's not an easy task to deal with many different types of shirts, and then we threw an additional order on him after the weekend. He did a fabulous job figuring it all out. You should set a deadline date for ordering right from the start. That date should give the vendor plenty of time to get the order to you. You may want to have them done a few weeks in advance so that they can ship out and we can wear them to the M and G. If you decide to go with one type of shirt, or several, make yourself a spreadsheet and keep a list of everything ordered that you can copy off to the vendor. Not really a bad idea to offer a couple of different options, i.e. polo, long sleeve, short sleeve, etc. just a lot more work for you. Pay the price for a good heavy duty shirt. There's nothing worse than getting a shirt and washing it a couple of times and it becomes junk. Charge an extra buck for each shirt. Shipping charges change, and there are always variables. Whatever extra you have after everything is shipped, you can use at the Meet to buy ingredients for your fabulous cole slaw! And finally, you may or may not want to use the same vendor that Darn used for the 2010 rockers. If you use the same vendor, you shouldn't have any issues with them matching the 2009 rockers and the patch. That leg work is already done and you would probably save the setup charges.

Thanks again, I'm already getting excited about the 2010 M and G.

And yes, it was 47 degrees this morning and I rode to work!!!!
