Hey Doug,<br>
<br>
Glad to see we're getting some shirts printed up. Here are my
thoughts.<br>
<br>
I'm not a fan of the pocketed tee, I would prefer a regular tee.<br>
If we're making the effort to get some new tees, I think we should
do a new design too. Maybe even get a quote for a professional
design instead of a member volunteer design.<br>
Why are we considering paying for a one time delivery?<br>
We should order enough on the first batch to stock multiple sizes
for a couple years.<br>
<br>

Christmas has passed, and all the guests have gone
home, so it is time to get
back to business. Below is a proposal that was
discussed by board members prior
to Christmas. We need to decide on whether we are
going to do this as soon as
possible. I ask that you send me your vote aye or
nay on the proposal. If the
vote is aye, I will announce the tee-shirt proposal
via message to the list
(and a possible website post). I will also need the
funds before I can make the
order. The order would be made after the January
DPRG monthly meeting and 2018 officer election.</span></p>

attend regular club meetings (i.e., live outside of

have the shirt mailed to them. Postage will
be paid by the DPRG. Mailings will be limited to
locations in the United States

Above the pocket is a small

back of the shirt has a large DPRG logo consisting
of two colors black and
blue. The blue used in the logo will be a darker
blue than the standard logo, similar
to the color used on the last club tee-shirt design.
Attempts will be made to
make the new batch of tee-shirt similar to the
previous tee-shirts, including
shirt material and manufacturer. The tee-shirt
layout is the 2008 Ron
Grant design seen at <a
