Merchandise Update

Hello everyone,

First of all, let me just say that I am sorry for the delays in getting our merchandise produced and shipped. I know that you've been waiting a long time. This has been a learning experience for sure, due to production issues, time issues and personal issues.

Secondly, I want to thank you very, very much for your patience. We are finally nearing the finish line for production and can start the mailings. Due to the time issues, I'm going back to review and refine the lists so when the final pieces fall into place (expected to happen this week) we can begin shipping.

Third, I plan on handling things much differently in the future as far as production and shipping is concerned. As you might imagine, this isn't my forte and so I've done a lot of learning in regards not only to just the overall processes, but which vendors to use for certain products. It seems that luck was not on my side for most of it, which has made it rather painful.

So for those who haven't purchased a t-shirt but would still like one, there's still a little bit of time for you to participate. I've been working with a local vendor (something I should have done to begin with) and will be meeting with him this week to finalize everything and get the order rolling. The plus side of the technical difficulties (particularly in regards to the shirts) is the discovery of our current shirt-making partner here in Salem, Oregon. They actually print the shirts right here in their own warehouse and they employ people with special needs. I have seen samples of their work and am very pleased.

So please stay tuned and again I apologize for the lengthy delay.
