[wplug-plan] tshirts again.

[bethlynn at wplug.org]

Hi,

I think this sounds like the deal we are looking for, however, I
have a few questions.

Does this site do stationary or just apparel? It would be nice to
have some wplug business cards.

Is the quote of $6-$9 a shirt for any adult size Small - XXXL ?

Can we mix and match the sizes or are we forced to go with a "one
size fits most"? XXL?!?

Would it be a good idea to do a pre-order price of $10 with a price
of $12 to buy a shirt in stock?

It would be nice to have t-shirts for the picnic. Make sure to cloth
your entire family in wplug attire!

Opinions? Suggestions?

Thanks,
Beth Lynn
