However, depending on who makes the plaque and how involved it is, the cost could run between $50 to $100. But, if we bring in $1500 from the entries, those costs shouldn't be a problem.>>> Let's just let the record show that I never used the word "tacky". :-) A plaque would be a less expensive way to do it, too. I don't know where you guys shop for gifts and plaques, but your price estimates are twice what I've paid for similar gifts/plaques. It sounds like I'm setting myself up to be the volunteer to do gifts.... :-) Lemme shop around tomorrow for plaque prices and engraving prices, and then I'll let you know how much it'll cost per gift before shipping if I do it. -Dave ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, e-mail majordomo@aquatic-gardeners.org with "unsubscribe aga-contest" in the body of the message.
