The shirts are here!   Here are the comments I've heard so far . . . "We should be adding about 50%, so the suggested amounts are about right." "We might think about raising the price at the start so that we can reduce the price later without losing money on the sale.  The suggested prices are okay, though."  "$15 & $17 might be a little high for the t-shirts.  Historic Pathwalkers had trouble selling theirs at $12, I think, but how about $12 or $13 for sizes L & XL & $14 or $15 for XXL?".  If you haven't said your piece yet, let me know.  I'll have them with me whenever we walk, so you can buy yours once we agree on the selling price.  If you are concerned if the size you want will be available for you, email me and request a hold on whichever size you want and I'll pin a label with your name on one.  We currently have 9 L, 5 XL and 5 XXL available.

Jeff and I plan to walk East Lansing on Sat., April 8 at 10 am.  Come join us if you like!

I'm going to put in an order to AVA for some green AVA book covers and a few more green event books.  Let me know if you would like us to order anything in particular for you - a 2006 Starting Point or any certain color of event or distance book or an AVA pedometer.  Check out the stock at :  http://www.ava.org/avaspec.htm .  By ordering through the club, you allow us to earn 20% (less the shipping).

Quincy is going to open on April 1st.  Dot will be delivering the box to the Quincy Golf Course.  

The Columbia City, Indiana event is on April 2nd.  Joan and I are going to carpool down there and quickly visit a genealogical museum after the walk.  Want to join us?  Let me or Joan know.

Our Great Lakes Weekend during Labor Day weekend 2006 has a few seats still available.  If you are interested in going with us, you need to get your registration in. We are expecting a burst of registrations to come in when our article in The American Wanderer runs.

See you in Birmingham on April 22, if not before then!
