[Paddlewise] T Shirts---ORDER NOW!!!

Hello List,

With the upcoming gathering of some Paddlewisers in the NYC area, I took it
upon myself to explore the possibility of getting T shirts for people.  Not
only the visitors &  hosts, but anyone else who wants one (or more).  I
mention the near future gathering to illustrate my timing.

I solicited input from the list regarding colors, logo placement, etc., and
received almost as many different suggestions as replies.  There is no way
I can satisfy everyone, so I propose I procure one version of T shirt.  If
people are interested, I will go ahead.

I have contacted two local vendors for pricing and delivery times.  I want
to charge enough to pay for the shirts and shipping and have no profit to
deal with afterwards.  More importantly, no losses either.  Also, I am not
interested in bringing T shirts to the gathering.  All shirts are to be
mailed.

Here is the pricing and other info I have:

1)   Minimum order is 3 dozen shirts.  Delivery time is about 2 weeks.
2)   Sizes available are S thru XL.  Larger sizes are available at
additional cost.
3)   Shirts are $6.40 each (white) for 1 logo of 2 colors.  Colored shirts
cost more.
4)   Shirts are pre-shrunk 100% cotton, "Hanes" Beefy Ts, short sleeve.
4)   There is a $60 setup charge for the artwork.
5)   Remember, I pay 8.25% sales tax.
6)   Shipping by regular mail would be $1.65 or $1.87 but I have to get an
envelope.  Shipping by priority mail is $3.20, take less time and the post
office supplies the envelope.


Here is the shirts I will order:

Color - White
Logo - 2 color, black & orange 6 to 8 inches in diameter, located centrally
on the front of the shirt.  As Jackie pointed out, there is a place in the
logo to add your name.
Price - I think that $13.00/ shirt covers everything
Shipping - Priority mail

I will place an order after I get email commitments for a minimum of 30
shirts.  I would like to have commitments by the end of the day, Monday, 1
MAY 00.  When I get enough commitments, I will place the order laying out
my own $.  I will then tell everyone to send me:

	A check made out to Bill Leonhardt.
	Check amount to be $13 times the number of shirts you want.
	Quantity and sizes of shirts.
	IMPORTANT - A shipping label that I can tape to the envelope that I will
use to send the shirts to you.

I will try (no promise) to send an email when I mail out the shirt.

DO NOT send your order or commitment to this list!!!!!!!!!!!! (Learn how
your reply buttons work)

Send commitments to WJLeonhardt_at_bnl.gov

Send checks & shipping labels to:
	Bill Leonhardt
	PO Box 353
	Upton, NY 11973-0353

This is the first time I've ever done this and my fantasy is that it can
work smoothly and not cost me very much.  We'll see.

If I don't get the minimum 30 commitments, I plan to go the route of
"iron-on transfer" for myself.

Hope to hear from many of you,

Bill
