[pct-l] ADZ T-Shirts

[Bighummel at aol.com (Bighummel@aol.com)]

ADZPCTKO T-shirts! T-shirts with the new ADZPCTKO logo on them will be sold 
at this year's event.  To check out the design, just log onto the ADZ 
superwebsite at www.pct77.org/adz and look for the crossed ice axe and trekking pole 
with a sideways diamond and the "PCT" of the ADZPCTKO in it.

These shirts are a 50/50 cotton/poly blend (I tried to get 100% synthetic but 
the screener says that the inks don't stick well on anything over 50% 
synthetic) and come in "Natural" (light beige) and "Ash" (light gray) and are just 
the perfect weight for desert hiking.  Sizes are Small, Medium, Large, XL and 
XXL. Only $15 each with all proceeds going to support the event and the trail.  

You may think that this is over and above what we may need with all of the 
donations that you have sent in, however, recognize that by your generosity with 
donations and some simple fun things like this and the silent auction, the 
ADZPCTKO is an event that does not need vendors supplying big funding in order 
to make it work.  Thus we are in the rare and enviable situation to be a bit 
picky about the vendors and only have those who are narrowly focused upon the 
long distance hiking community.  In this way the ADZPCTKO remains a hiker 
gathering for hikers and does not need to become a hiking gear festival with tons of 
vendors hawking their wares to every passerby.

Additionally, last year we were able to support the PCTA Trail Gorillas and 
our generous host; Lake Morena, to the tune of several hundred dollars donated 
each.

All of this through voluntary funding.  We recognize that many of the PCT 
community are young, unestablished, underfunded individuals.  Thus the voluntary 
donation policy allows someone with no funds available to still attend and 
lend a hand serving food or cleaning up as their donation.

See you there,
