Dave and I exchanged pm's the past couple days and he's going to take me up on my offer from this past February to run the auction this year. I'll get a dedicated thread going soon and I agree with Luke that many hands will make light work.

I'm willing to help out however I can. Like the Secret Santa event it's my favorite thing we do here; only better since it supports charity. I'm hoping, if all works out this year, to have a really spiffy item available for this years auction.

If we have a reserve of around 50 shirts, they cost around $20 with shipping and such to break even. Selling t-shirts isn't difficult, but to make profit on a limited number it's not easy.

Promoting a design now would help that cause big time.

Neat! Hope he is doing well/better.

I'll help in anyway I can. I also have spreadsheets from when I held the auction if that helps.

You know what, I'm gonna look into the shirts again. I would have had shirts two years ago, but I made the mistake of talking about it publicly on the forums. Too many people had too many ideas of how it should be handled, and it ended up causing us not to have ANY shirts.

That logo, colored somehow, would make a great shirt.
