I am quite keen on the t-shirt/sweat shirt idea so long as we don't use trademarked material.
The site I was looking into to using is
http://teespring.com/ They are specifically easy to use for fundraisers. They do not take any money up front but rely on sales. We tell them how much we want to net from the proceeds then they come back and tell us the price per item and how many items we need to sell to make our goal.
Anyway, please look for a new post from either Labby or myself that will explain what is needed within the next month or so and what we'd like to raise to keep the boards running now and for the future.
