New shag radio station: www.shagcityusa.com LISTEN TO JIM QUICK LIVE FROM 2 TO 4.30 EVER TUESDAY Embroidered Logos We have found business that does a great job with our logo. Paul usually has a few samples and tee shirts with him if you want to see the logo or are interested in buying one of the items. We can take almost anything to them and they will put the logo on it. Right now the price runs around $10.00 per logo but the more items we have, the cheaper the cost. So, if you have something already, like a jacket, hat, or bag, bring it to Paul and when he has several pieces, he can get them done and beat the $10.00 per logo charge. Please send any news that needs to be in the newsletter to Cindy at jcbry@comporium.net 5
