Hi all,
We need to make some decisions, but I don't expect them to be made
today.
1. Are we doing tee shirts only or do you want me to go back to the
man and find out about tank tops?
2. Given that we now know the cost, what price do we charge so we can
have money to donate to a charity?
3. I work...so I'm going to need some help. I would prefer not to
handle the money end of this. WIll someone else volunteer to do that
IF we go forward with this project?
4. Depending on the number of shirts ordered, I may need some help
with packing & shipping.
I will be happy to coordinate this since the printer is in Anaheim,
but if anyone else has someone who will do this for the same or
similar price, I am happy to let them take this over.

Once the printing set up is done, I don't think it matters what it is

I think we need to know the shipping charges first. We will need to know
international charges as well.

I don't know what I can do to help. I'm in Canada. I don't think it would
be helpful for me to collect the money. If it is cheaper to mail to one
location in a particular country and then that person mail out the
individual Ts then I can do that here. If there is anything else let me
know.

See above. Don't think I will be flying to California to pack Ts though..
no matter how much I would love to see the state! :-)

You seem to be doing a pretty good job Debra. Thank you for all the work
you have put in so far.

Depends on the charity/charities. Guess it might be a good idea to
decide on the charity/charities and it also might be a good idea to
find out what that charity or charities actually dispenses as
largesse, i.e, what percentage of the $$$ actually goes to the charity
target and what percentage goes to "overhead.".

Did anyone suggest embroidered baseball caps? They're one-size-fits-all,
making the whole order process MUCH easier, imho.

You are correct that once the screen is made, it doesn't matter what it's
printed on, but if the printer has to order "specialty" items, like tank
tops, if he can't get a complete dozen of one size, the price changes. The
distributor sells by the dozen per SIZE. You get price breaks at 12, 36,
and 72 pieces of the same size in the same color.
My advice is to keep it simple. Sorry folks, but it will save on costs
unless you REALLY want to be specific (which the printers HATE), keep it
down to one color shirt and one color ink. A couple of tank tops in
different sizes can jack the order up to $8 or $9 a shirt - not kidding.

I love baseball caps, but then again, do you want Jiffy Pop type hats, 6
panel low profile..........etc. Plus it's a whole 'nother set-up fee. My 2

T shirts unless there is enough interest in tank tops to keep the
prices down.

Determine that after basic shirt cost and shipping is calculated. The
US postal service websaite can help you with the international shipping
costs.

If you have weights for packages packages, I can at least look that
stuff up for you since I'm outside the US, that is about the only way I
could pitch in and help. I can email you the list of shipping costs to
various parts of the world.

Most likely t-shirts only. Won't doing additional items cost a great deal
more?

I missed the cost part. As for a charity, it could be something like
donating to food pantries etc. Just an idea.

I'll be going to school but as I said in another post I'll help shipping in
the midwestern area. We can get priority mail envelopes and boxes of a
variety of sizes for free from the US Postal Service. I've got a lot of
them laying around here already.

Pick up the green customs declarations also at the post office. You'll
need them for any shirts going overseas.

Why not one color ink (white) and any color, heavy- or
light-weight shirt? That seems adequate to me, but then I am
not into tank tops.

I'd like to see a more worldwide charity. Second Harvest was chosen the
last time because it would help feed the survivors and family members who
were affected by the 9/11 attacks, and the cookbook was inspired by those
attacks.
One possibility:

Actually, we donated to City Harvest, which feeds New Yorkers.
Second Harvest is much more widespread.

I also vote for simplicity - tshirt, one color, one color printing.
I'd be happy to help pack/ship. If you need someone to handle money, I
might be able to do that too. I'm in Sacramento, California. Let me know
what you need me to do, and I'll do it gladly, Debra. We're bound to meet
one of these days, you know -- at Kay's if nowhere else :-)

Second Harvest is a confederation/network of local and regional food
bank organizations. They provide research, technical assistance, they
secure and distribute food and grocery products to member food banks
and food rescue organizations, etc. Their new research project, Hunger
in America, 2005 will be released in November this year.

Again, the printer gets price breaks by the dozen per color per size. As in
12 black mediums. Pieces are almost $1.00 more per shirt.

Helpful suggestion: buy two tops. Cut the sleeves off one. Instant
tank top! Then you have the 2nd shirt for formal occassions.

That's the advice I received from someone else via email. I have no
intention of dealing with personal checks...and I wouldn't encourage
anyone else to do that either.
After reading all the posts, I'm also inclined to keep this down to
one or two shirt colors only..and perhaps the same colors in a lighter
weight shirt.

Works for me.
BTW, which of us is closer to your Anaheim printer (bearing in mind
that my office is in Newport Beach on PCH near the 55)? My boss
doesn't mind me taking off to run errands if we're not crunched. I
could fetch and carry, ma'am :-)

No, not the only way...but one of the ways. For me, to send a pesonal
check from Honduras on my American account, the recipient is looking at
sometimes up to a month wait for receipt of the check. Wail only goes
out of my town twice a weeek...if the post office has stamps! Wiring
the money would be exhorbitant. PayPal is much much easier from my
American account - virtually instant transfer.

Yup....Not only to they deal with crisis situation like the current
drought and starvation in Niger, they have domestic programs in place
in affiliate countries to deal with chronic issues of poverty and
malnutrituon by improving the economic situation both in the affiliate
countries and abroad.
I've seen them at work here in Honduras with coffee producers. The
structure of the coffee industry here favors the mass growers, the big
boys who can sell on their own. Small farmers are out in the cold and
are not able to sell because of the amounts required by law for export.
Oxfam has helped them organize into cooperatives so they can market and
sell their coffee, meet export minimums, etc.
Oxfam America works with the Honduran project as well as several
others. In addition they are involved with rural poverty issues in the
United States.

Are you intending to make these available for Internationals RFCers? (I'm in
Ontario, Canada). In that case they need to be Nafta friendly, but if you
stick with the Hanes as originally spec'ed you should be fine. I'd be
interested in at least half a dozen.

Yes. Just like the cookbook, these should be available to everyone. I
have a friend in Toronto and I send him stuff from time to time...and
I just mark it as a gift on the customs form...and keep the value
low....and we've never had a problem.

Good to know. I'm not far from Toronto. Textiles are tricky in that they
need to be border friendly, but that partucular brand is so no worries
there. If you're keeping tabs, I like the Navy shirt, white scren option.

Dude, if you saw my big head and big hair you would understand that one

I have had 2 aprons which I've wore off & on for many years. One is an
apron I bought at Uwajimaya (sp?) in Seattle. I've tried to find another
like it over the years and even found one on the internet for sale, but it
was the child's version of it when I got it. The company is now out of
business. It is a style that I love. I suppose I could get someone to mock
the style and make me one, but haven't. It covers the arms to the elbows,
has pockets in the front and ties in the back -- and comfortable.
I bought a KitchenAid/Breast Cancer apron online, where they advertise that
so much of the purchase goes to breast cancer. I'm too fat I guess because
it is so small I can't get it around me and it doesn't cover up much.
So I went searching for another apron -- found a nice large one at
Williams-Sonoma on sale (pink); and a nice large one (brown-striped) at Ikea
(NO POCKETS!!) at Ikea. Then I picked up a chef's coat at a kitchen place.
It is so ill-fitting - big shoulders and too tight thru the chest (made for
men, I guess) that I probably won't wear it. In between the time I found
the two aprons, I wore the doctors/nurses coats. I had two sizes; one to
wear over bulky clothes in the winter and one smaller for less clothes
underneath.
Mostly for short-term in the kitchen, it's T-shirts. I buy white cotton
ones at a cheap store 3x for $2. If they are too stained, in the rag bag
they go.
Bonkers over aprons,

If you cooked in the nude, there'd be less to deal with. ;-) Just be sure

But how many people whould actually use an apron? I haven't used one
since junior high school home ec classes where it was mandatory. I
don't know very many people who actually use aprons. That's what my
ratty old T-shirts and not suitable for work twill pants are for -
doing messy things like cooking or crafts.

If available soon and unisex, not a "frilly-girly" thing, I'd buy an apron.
I will be required to have an apron for the knife skills classes I plan to
take this fall and winter.

Not a problem! If folks would rather have an apron, that fine. I only
got into this tee shirt thing because it came up here, and it came up
at the San Diego cookin in June... because I was the only one there
with the tee shirt.
I volunteered to look into tee shirts because of my connection to a
couple of local fire fighter groups who have tee shirts done all the
time. I figured I could get info from them and get to their
supplier..which I did.
When we were talking about doing the cookbook, I got some prices from
my printer and posted them. Other folks in the group were able to
figure out a more cost effective way to do the cookbook, so that's
what was done.
If the group would rather have aprons, or someone else can get the tee
shirts at a better price, I would be happy to let someone else carry
the ball...

Same here. I have an apron from the Seattle cookin...and one from
another cookin...and they are sitting in a drawer in the plastic bags
they came in.
That being said, I only wear my rfc tee shirt to cookins..It's not
something I wear all the time..which is probably why it's still in
mint condition.

Debra, what brand is the apron that you bought from your Seattle cookin' -

Nothing, I assume, and it's probably convenient if you already have a
PP account.
But I don't so I'd rather use a one-shot payment like a money order,
which is very secure for the receiver.

BidPay is an alternative to PayPal; in effect, you are buying a Western
Union money order, which is mailed to the payee (from the WU office closest
to them, I believe). I have used it a few times, buying merchandise from
overseas; it is a convenient way make foriegn currency payments, though it
will work just fine in US$. The payee also benefits from there being no
fees on that end - all fees are paid by the sender.

Ahhh, ok. Interesting. I've used Paypal many times, nary a problem. I do
get those phishing things, but I just junk em. Same from "ebay", and when
they tell me they're going to cancel my account, I'm like "Please. Do me a
favor!" ;-)

I'd buy 2 of the T-shirts and 2 of the Aprons...if the aprons were fit
for manly men.

It's not a question of where he grips it!
It's a simple question of weight ratios!
A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

I absolutely cannot stand to have things around my neck...bib aprons,
necklaces, id tag holders (I keep my required work ID holder in my
pocket and pull it out as needed), etc. Even some styles of shirts,
blouses, and dresses are out (turtlenecks being the primary offender)I
tried a bib apron once...and the bib part was so damn annoying I dumped
the thing in the trash. For 10 years I had to wear a uniform that
required a necktie. Now - nothing other than open collar blouses,
shirts or dresses, T shirts, and round, scoop, V or square neck dresses
and blouses.
My worn and faded Tshirts work just fine. When they get too stained, in
the rag bag they go for cleaning rags.

You will have enough to deal with with half a dozen sizes and colors,
without trying to keep straight heavy-Ts, light-T's, boxers,
wife-beaters, aprons, and caps. Next time, maybe we should look into
pens, keychains, coupon cutters, shopping bags, umbrellas, and
spatulas.

Why on earth did you put your bib apron in the bin! All you had to do
was turn the top down inside the apron part and tie it around your
waist!

Jumping in -- But, But, But -- the top of the body is where I get the most
dirty. That's why I like a big apron covering my chest area.
