Tee shirt Project

Hi all,

We need to make some decisions, but I don't expect them to be made
today.

1. Are we doing tee shirts only or do you want me to go back to the
man and find out about tank tops?

Once the printing set up is done, I don't think it matters what it is
printed on. The cost would be the only difference. Unless there is enough
interest in other products, or to simplify things, I say stick with the Ts.

2. Given that we now know the cost, what price do we charge so we can
have money to donate to a charity?

I think we need to know the shipping charges first. We will need to know
international charges as well.

3. I work...so I'm going to need some help. I would prefer not to
handle the money end of this. WIll someone else volunteer to do that
IF we go forward with this project?

I don't know what I can do to help. I'm in Canada. I don't think it would
be helpful for me to collect the money. If it is cheaper to mail to one
location in a particular country and then that person mail out the
individual Ts then I can do that here. If there is anything else let me
know.

See above. Don't think I will be flying to California to pack Ts though..
no matter how much I would love to see the state! :-)

I will be happy to coordinate this since the printer is in Anaheim,
but if anyone else has someone who will do this for the same or
similar price, I am happy to let them take this over.

You seem to be doing a pretty good job Debra. Thank you for all the work
you have put in so far.

Depends on the charity/charities. Guess it might be a good idea to
decide on the charity/charities and it also might be a good idea to
find out what that charity or charities actually dispenses as
largesse, i.e, what percentage of the $$$ actually goes to the charity
target and what percentage goes to "overhead.".

I work, too. Will help where I can, of course. Lemmeno.

I am utterly clueless as to how to do this, but you lemmeno how to
help and, girl, I'll help.

Did anyone suggest embroidered baseball caps? They're one-size-fits-all,
making the whole order process MUCH easier, imho.

You are correct that once the screen is made, it doesn't matter what it's
printed on, but if the printer has to order "specialty" items, like tank
tops, if he can't get a complete dozen of one size, the price changes. The
distributor sells by the dozen per SIZE. You get price breaks at 12, 36,
and 72 pieces of the same size in the same color.

My advice is to keep it simple. Sorry folks, but it will save on costs
unless you REALLY want to be specific (which the printers HATE), keep it
down to one color shirt and one color ink. A couple of tank tops in
different sizes can jack the order up to $8 or $9 a shirt - not kidding.

I love baseball caps, but then again, do you want Jiffy Pop type hats, 6
panel low profile..........etc. Plus it's a whole 'nother set-up fee. My 2
cents.

T shirts unless there is enough interest in tank tops to keep the
prices down.

Determine that after basic shirt cost and shipping is calculated. The
US postal service websaite can help you with the international shipping
costs.

If you have weights for packages packages, I can at least look that
stuff up for you since I'm outside the US, that is about the only way I
could pitch in and help. I can email you the list of shipping costs to
various parts of the world.

I'm in Honduras, can't help you there.

Debra, I will help ship in the midwestern area. I live in St. Louis. Lemme
know. My email is dog30 at Charter dot net.

Most likely t-shirts only. Won't doing additional items cost a great deal
more?

I missed the cost part. As for a charity, it could be something like
donating to food pantries etc. Just an idea.

I'll be going to school but as I said in another post I'll help shipping in
the midwestern area. We can get priority mail envelopes and boxes of a
variety of sizes for free from the US Postal Service. I've got a lot of
them laying around here already.

Pick up the green customs declarations also at the post office. You'll
need them for any shirts going overseas.

I don't really expect tank tops. I have plenty of those to wear when I'm
working out in the heat, anyway 🙂

Why not Second Harvest, the charity we used for the rfc cookbook?

Why not one color ink (white) and any color, heavy- or
light-weight shirt? That seems adequate to me, but then I am
not into tank tops.

I'd like to see a more worldwide charity. Second Harvest was chosen the
last time because it would help feed the survivors and family members who
were affected by the 9/11 attacks, and the cookbook was inspired by those
attacks.

One possibility:
http://www.thehungersite.com/

Any others?

Actually, we donated to City Harvest, which feeds New Yorkers.
Second Harvest is much more widespread.

I also vote for simplicity - tshirt, one color, one color printing.

I'd be happy to help pack/ship. If you need someone to handle money, I
might be able to do that too. I'm in Sacramento, California. Let me know
what you need me to do, and I'll do it gladly, Debra. We're bound to meet
one of these days, you know -- at Kay's if nowhere else :-)

Second Harvest is a confederation/network of local and regional food
bank organizations. They provide research, technical assistance, they
secure and distribute food and grocery products to member food banks
and food rescue organizations, etc. Their new research project, Hunger
in America, 2005 will be released in November this year.
