Re: T-shirt update & slogans

Aaron,

Maybe us Canadians aren't at the forefront of fashion, or maybe it's the
government influence around Washington...

A compromise would be to offer both, but put some limits on
choices. T-shirts/golf shirts, a few sizes and no more than two colours.

How about this to gauge the number of shirts to order?  Put up a form on
one of the WWW sites and get people to register their preferences (leaving
an email address for follow-up).  No flames please, I'll be the first to
admit I know squat about marketing.

Ciao!
