OK,I can handle getting the shirts there, I can drop them off at the hotel when I arrive at DCA on Sunday, and then when I check in on Tuesday bring them to my room. Or ship them in advance to the hotel, but I think I can manage the extra bag/box on the flight just fine.
Where and when to sell the shirts?A - a table somewhere near talks, manned before and after but not during (who watches the merchandise during talks?) B - in the hospitality room (no more than one drink if I'm handling the money!) C - samples only set up near the talks and most sales in hospitality room later (anybody not able to stay for hospitality?)
I'll need a money box for cash transactions. Checks -- yes? Credit cards -- no? Mailing costs $2.44 most of the time, so discount should be $2 or less, if we need to discount at all. I think immediate gratification is reward enough, but dropping price from $18 to $16 is OK if you folks think it wise. If I ship this box, it is very heavy, it will consume some of that postage savings. None of this is important right now except for maybe a table if that is needed, near talks or in hospitality room and a cash box.
I have 9 Small, 20 Medium, 36 Large, 20 X-Large and no XXL. If there are any XXL, Cheryl, maybe you can arrange to ship them to me at the hotel. The shirts I have will fit in one box, mostly.
And, I can handle most of the time involved, except I don't want to miss a talk to watch a T-shirt table!

We all know you have absolutely NOTHING else to occupy your time so you might as well sell T-shirts.<VBG> Karen----- Original Message ----- From: "Cheryl Rogers" <cheryl@rightstuffwebsites.com>To: "AGA Advisory Committee" <aga-mcm@thekrib.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 10:27 PM Subject: Re: [AGA-mcm] Re: Room for storage is neededI know not what others may think, but here's what I think: I think that we could make some money selling shirts, ESPECIALLY if the shirts are there at the convention. I will be happy to take on this job. Ann, if it's too much trouble to bring the shirts on the plane with you, you could ship them in advance to the hotel or Ghazanfar's house and wecandeal with it then. What do y'all think? Cheryl
