--> Hello to all you old Grease spots who might remember my voice from the past! These hurrican relief T-shirts look mighty fine to me and Ryebred Jr., so much so that Jr. is enlisting her pals in this creative and worth while fundraising project. The design is great, by wearing them you'll keep the overwhelming reality of this disaster and its relief needs in people's "faces" and help support the relief financially.
Yes, chicks DO dig guys who wear these shirts - it shows (like you) that they have their heart in the right place. They also want one for themselves! That's really why you ordered three, right?
Due to the miracle of e-mail and pdf files and such I'm getting feedback that indicates that this project may be getting to thousands of people/churches.
I'm imagining having to recruit dozens of volunteers to come to our church's "Fellowship Hall", working on Saturdays and/or after church on Sundays, packaging up tee shirts (good vision, huh?).
We'll have pizza and music and know that we are doing something good and worthwhile together, So keep those orders coming in! Make my dream come true (ie. the pizza and music).
If you're having trouble seeing or printing out the order form let me know.
Dmiller, thanks - yes, though I'd like an updated situation report on the website. I think they are responding well -and am sure lots of people are experiencing God's love through these trained disaster relief workers.
Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
You can now buy shirts and pay by Paypal through ebay:
Be sure to put the shirt color you want and size(s) in the instruction box and give us your e-mail address to contact you if it's different from the one you use for Paypal transactions.
Well after just 3 days since buying my shirts, I've become the life of party, am getting better gas mileage, and my hair has grown in thicker and fuller without any trace of gray.
I understand you've sold 60 shirts between school and Rye Presbyterian Church youth and adults (and that RPC donated an extra $150). Congratulations... and thank you!
It seems like you have a true grasp of Matt. 25. "insomuch as you have done it for the least of these, you've done it for me"
<Ryebred> has given me the details on the Rye orders - we'll get the new orders in tomorrow - those shirts might be ready Friday if they combine the orders for one big run. I'll let you know.
Counting your sales in Rye so far, around 250 shirts have sold so far - but that's just the beginning, I hope. Our goal is to get an e-mail about the shirts to every Presby church in the USA this week. Before that we need to do some paperwork for ebay and some banking preparation. By tomorrow noon all the shirt listings should be back on Ebay. Folk can still just search "pcusa shirt" to find them.
I hope you have gotten your own shirt and like it. A friend told me today that she sold three from people coming up to her to ask about hers (she just happened to have order forms in her purse).
Our church has a huge Rummage sale (Fri. and Sat.) and a kid's lemonade stand, bake sale, and car wash added for Sat - we'll have about 85 t-shirts on-hand, ready to sell also.
We're starting to collect health kit stuff too ttp://www.pcusa.org/katrina/kits.htm
It's a lot; but it could represent a church (mine) renewing it's commitment to social action.
That, plus teaming up with friends, and friends of friends, from my home town and home church is VERY gratifying.

If you wish to send the order form to someone without revealing Greasespot proclivities and/or your TWI past...
You can download the PDF file to your computer, with a new name, and then send it to them as an attachment to an e-mail.
I just tried it; it worked.

PDA serves the ENTIRE community, not just Presbyterians!

Hmmmm... might just be me, but I can't get into that site on Mozilla. I did get in using Internet Explorer, so all was not lost.
I just placed an order through ebay and paid through Paypal. Sure was easy!
I put the sizes in the box for extra instructions (along with my phone # and email addy in case...)

I'll continue to tweak the Ebay listing so the best way to find its latest version is to search on key words: "PCUSA shirt."
It now accepts checks and money orders: immediate paypal payment is not required.
So far, just size xl -5xl black shirts - hopefully tomorrow - other colors and sizes.

That's right, George
They're blessed, Baby!
My dog, my truck, and my wife came home.
latest tweaking is done
search Ebay keywords "PCUSA shirt"
It's a national phenomena!
