[nfbwatlk] question about selling T-shirts

[Frye, Dan]

Elizabeth:

One of the chapters in our Florida affiliate has adopted a project where they are selling individually customized shirts that promote the NFB. While I recognize that this isn't exactly what you're looking for where the CFB is a different organization, it seems likely that they may have knowledge about where purchases could be made or could possibly customize a shirt to reflect the CFB logo and information. At a minimum, they may be able to point you toward a manufacturer or something helpful. Finally, I know you may be looking for a domestic source for your shirts, and I know nothing more than to suggest that you contact these folks. Because the following message is cut and pasted from the internet, its formatting may be slightly off, but it is readable. The announcement, published in the April 2007 Braille Monitor, follows:


Available Now:
"Dress for success!" "Maximize your message!" "Put your best foot forward!" These are more than tired old clichés; they are time-proven truths. The appropriate
attire can boost your confidence and show the world that you are part of an important team. Imagine the impact your chapter or affiliate can make at educational
events, public meetings, and fundraisers if all your members and supporters are attired in new, sharp, high-quality garments.

We can help you obtain shirts that will assist you in making that positive impression. Each short-sleeved golf shirt is stitched on the upper left chest
with the National Federation of the Blind logo, including Whozit depicted in full color. These shirts can be customized to include the name of your state
affiliate at no extra charge. Select a color unique for your affiliate or chapter and really stand out in the crowd at state and national conventions.

What an immediate and graphic reminder of the exciting opportunity we have to be proud members of the largest and most dynamic consumer organization of
the blind in the world. Ordering is easy. Each chapter submits a prepaid order for shirts for its membership. Shirts will be shipped to the ordering chapter
in about three weeks. They are available in adult sizes small to 3XL. We can process orders for twelve or more shirts, and your cost is an amazingly low
$15 per shirt plus shipping. Available shirt colors are white, black, ash, California teal, heather gray, ivy, kelly, maroon, natural, navy, red, and royal.
Order right away to ensure that you have the shirts before our 2007 national convention in Atlanta, June 30 through July 6. Interested in button-up shirts,
caps, or tote bags? Ask for a quote on those too.

Those interested in more information should contact East Hillsborough Chapter member DJ Hackney at <donnajhackney at aol.com> or (863) 853-7776. Orders may
also be placed and paid for online at <www.blind411.org/Golf.html>.

With Kind Regards,

Dan Frye

Subject: [nfbwatlk] question about selling T-shirts

Dear NFBW,
I would like to get some t-shirts made up for the Canadian federation of the Blind to sell at our convention. 
Does anyone have any ideas or experience in getting t-shirts made up for a reasonable price?
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much.
Elizabeth
