The T shirts are definately not for sale, I feel very strongly about not making a profit on Jeanettte's efforts. I ordered 12 shirts as that is what I felt I could afford to give away. Since, I had problems with the company that actually produced the shirts messing up the design, they gave me 4 extra shirts when they reprinted them. Out of the 16 shirts, I now have 2 large shirts left. I am sorry to say that the XXL's went first, and there were more of those than any other size. I guess that says something about people who sit in front of computers all day (myself included, I am unfortunately one of the XXL wearers :-(((. |> |> Talk about giving, he was a real sport when he won some money through a ticket |> draw, he gave it all back to support the event.

I got some T-shirts based on Jeanette's design made for Fano. I just about managed to break even on the venture. I felt that i was providing a service to the people who were there. It is cheaper to produce a batch of shirts than to have them made one at a time. Perhaps in the future, I will build some kites with the logo. I would like to be able to sell them to rec.kiters for not only the cost of the material, but also a small profit on top (so that I can buy more fabric to feed my habit...) The decision should lie with Jeanette. Are you listening Jeanette?? How do you feel? Are we free to use the logo in any way we choose? Only for the Pin? At a fixed cost per item? At a percentage cost per item (A few cents for a pin, $$$ for a huge parafoil) Only for items which are given away? Only if we give you one of each item produced? Some other deal?
