FINALLY! I am ready to offer the T shirts that everyone has been asking about. On the front they say, "Recycle Love, Support Labrador Rescue"

On the back it has the logo from ten of the forums best known lab rescues, PLUS I have also added LABMED to the back.

The shirts are day-glow green and come in Medium-Large-X Large and XX Large. They seem to run pretty close to size, and may shrink when washed so consider the size accordingly.

Now for the important stuff. The shirts will be $20 each, and ALL PROFITS WILL BE SPLIT EVENLY BY THE 11 GROUPS LISTED ON THE BACK OF THE SHIRT. When all the shirts have sold, or when orders slow way down, I will take all the profits and send a check to each group listed on the shirt.

There will be a $4 priority shipping fee per order, no matter how many shirts is included in the order. In other words, 1 shirt would be $20 plus $4 shipping OR 5 shirts would be $80 plus $4 shipping. You get the idea.

If you are interested in ordering, please drop me a letter with the quantity and size/sizes needed, along with a check/money order for the appropriate amount to

Joe Maringo
142 Stark Drive
Plum PA. 15239

I will keep a detailed accounting of all money received, and the cost of the shirts and will be happy to send it out to anyone that would like to see the numbers at any time.

I think that is pretty much everything. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to PM or email me at jobarlabs@adelphia.net

Joe, I love this shirt. Going to send you my letter and money ASAP. Thanks so much and what a great cause :D

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! I will be sending you a check this week.
They look great.

I love the shirt and what a wonderful cause! Will you ship to Canada as well??

Joe - by any chance you have small size available. I would like to buy 2 small, 2 Large and 1 X-large.

That is so awesome! The shirts look great!

Very cool shirts! I know I'll be getting one.

Can we get this post Stickied for a while?

Awesome!

You are the BEST Joe!

The shirts are just great. We are so looking forward to meeting you at the Ohio Lab Fest!

Check's on the way. Thanks Joe.

Awesome!!! It's a "must-have"! :)

Mod... can you sticky this?

A few answers to the questions so far.

Yes, I will ship to Canada, and the cost will be the same.

Sorry, no smalls. They did not have any in stock and I had already waited almost 2 months to get the ones I have. You can always wash a medium in hot water and it will shrink :D

I will try to bring a supply of them to the Ohio labfest, so anyone that will be there can save the shipping if you can wait 2 weeks. Email me with your order though so I can be sure to save the sizes you need. I am not sure how fast they will sell, so I don't know if I will have enough. I have a total od 47 right now in sizes from medium to XX large.

Orders will be shipped as soon as I receive the payment.

Thanks everyone!

Joe those T's turned out great!:)

I think they turned out great...an order will be in the mail tomorrow, Joe.

Thanks for all the work you put into this.

Joe, the t-shirts are awesome. My letter and check will be in the mail tomorrow.

Susan

I'll mail a money order soon. Question though, is there a discount for 5 or more? Your post seemed to indicate that. I think though that I will be getting three or four of them.

Thanks for all the work you put into this.

No discount, I was just trying to make sure everyone understood that it was a flat $4 for shipping. Sometimes when I try to make things more understandable it only make them more confusing, sorry:o:

I think she was confused because you wrote "5 for $80 and $4 shipping" but it should be 5 for $100...

Great shirts. Thanks for sharing.

Joe .... I know that I def. will want to order a shirt ... 2x But I will just wait for the Lab Fest.

They look great!

Woops! See why I try to stay away from any math. :o:

I will put 2X aside for you Amy.

Very cool Joe...thanks for including CMLRN! :)

Joe, those are AWESOME!!!! What a great idea! :)

Joe - Will you send a confirmation when you received $$$? I haven't send actual check via US mail for ages. All of my $$$ transactions happen online with tracking#!!! I put the check with info in the mail to you today.

Sure, I'll be glad to let you know when it gets here.

Joe - I just put my check in the mail to you for 2 shirts - 1 XL and 1 M.

Thanks!!!

:clap: I love it Joe :clap: You did a great job :clap:

LOVE the shirts, Joe! My order's on the way.

I just saw this and gotta have 2 shirts (1 med and 1 x-large). My check will be in the mail 1st thing in the morning. I hope there's enough. Did you say there's only 47?

Did you say there's only 47?

That is what I had for the first order. If they sell out I can always get more. I would have to order at least 36 again to get the best price though.

My check should arrive tomorrow (Monday at the latest). I've ordered 1 XL and 1 XXL.

That is sooooo great!!!! I am going to come back from the weekend this weekend and order some of those!!!!

I have received 8 or 10 orders/checks in the mail today for shirts. I know a lot of people have asked to be notified when I get their check. How does everyone feel about me just making a post with the first name and initial of each person so the know I have received it?

To be honest, most everyone has only used their real name in the order, and I don't know everyones screen name to match with their real name to PM them.

The first batch of shirts should be going out on Monday.

I don't mind you post my first name and last name or screen name.

Joe, I think that marciabee is easy enough to match up to my RL name...if you aren't sure, PM me. :)

Once again, I really appreciate all you've put into these shirts.

Joe, I don't mind at all if you use my name. I hope I wrote xxlarge on my order. That is what I want but sometimes I can't remember things to well and now I am sitting here wondering if I wrote it on there right.

Thanks again for doing this.

Those look awesome-just wrote you out a check-hope there is one left for me!!!:)

Lots left, so far I have only had 16 orders of the 47 that are available.

Christmas is not far away, wouldn't some of you like to get you shoping done early and help lab rescue? :D

You should see a check from me any day now with a note on my notepaper asking for two shirts.

Joe - have you received my check - its got 3 labs on it (surprise!)? I'm pretty sure I marked HunterBoozer on it in the memo section.

Thanks.

Andrew and Kathy, I have received both of your orders and they where included in the 16 shirts mentioned above. Kathy, your order went out yesterday, and Andrew, your's will go out tomorrow. THANKS!!!

I am sending mine to you today! Can't wait to see them :O)

Whoo Hooo! My husband's birthday is tomorrow and I was going to give him the shirt as part of his gift!

Thanks Joe!! :)

Got them Joe! Of course, Matt brought the mail in and wanted to know what was in the envelope, so he got a gift early!

He and I both LOVE them!

If you have to make a re-order, let me know. I definately need a small or extra-small, for my granddaughter. She loved them too (we showed her which rescue Yogi came from, Dani's) and now she "needs" a shirt too! :)

Awesome Joe! I will definately be ordering one. I will get the note and check out either tomorrow or this weekend.

If you reorder and get some smalls, let me know....I would swim in a medium. I'm not very big....and I don't have any chest to fill it out, either. :floor

We got our shirts & LOVE THEM Joe!!! Thanks SO MUCH!!!!!!

Am I too late/new to order one or two mediums?

Am I too late/new to order one or two mediums?

Starting to get a little close on XXL's but have pleanty of mediums. Send me your order and check and I will get them out to you.

Glad to hear that everyone likes the ones they received. They are a lot of work, but it is worth it:D

Check is on the way!

Thanks Joe, they look awesome!

I GOT MINE!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
Thanks so much for all your hard work.

I received mine today-it is great!!! Thanks Joe!:)

Joe, keep forgetting to post that got mine Monday. They look GREAT! Thanks so much!

We got ours Joe - they're GREAT!!!

Thank you!

I got my shirts today. WOW that was fast! They look great. Thanks so much Joe.

I just wanted to let everyone know that so far, 42 of the original 47 rescue shirts I got have been ordered. I have run out of a few sizes, so yesterday I placed an order for an additional 30 MORE shirts. I did not expect such an awsome response on them and am truely amazed how well they have been liked.

On that note, there will be a slight wait for the new ones to come in. It should only be a few days as long as they are in stock. I have about 10 orders going out either tomorrow or Saturday, so some should be in your mailbox soon. For the others, please be patient, and I will get them to you as soon as I can.

If you where still waiting to order, feel free to do so. I will be sending all shirts out within a few short days of receiving your order as soon as the new shirts come in. And, don't forget, they make perfect SECRET SANTA gifts:D

Most of all, THANK YOU ALL for helping to support lab

I got my shirts today!!!!, Thank you :o) They are great, and sooo bright and noticeable :o)

UPDATE 10/4/06

Thanks to the tremendous interest in the Lab Rescue T Shirts I have re-ordered 30 more. They came in last night and I have all sizes available again INCLUDING SMALL Any orders that where waiting due to me being out of that size will be shipped in the next day or two.

Also wanted to mention that I can ship to Canada and overseas. The shipping will be slightly higher, but I will make sure it is reasonable.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to PM or email me.

THANK YOU all for making this such a great success!

Thanks Joe!

Thanks Joe! Got the shirt yesterday. My DH was thrilled and is going to wear it to the Lab Fest today. Thanks so much for doing this and sending it.:)

Have a wonderful time on your trip, and be safe.

I was hoping you would have it in time. How was the labfest?

As for my trip, that is another story. It was canceled:( I will do a post about that in the next few days.:mad:

Joe,
Yes we got it in time! And it was a total hit with everyone.
Here is a picture of it. My husband loves it. Thanks again for the super fast shipping!
