The 150th committee has received a suggestion to create red tee shirts with the presby logo.  Research results are that if we go locally, then we can always make more.  If we charge $10 we can put back a little money into the 150th fund to cover reception expense in May.  If you want a shirt, send your size to mlakwantes@hotmail.com and get the money to Mary Kwantes ASAP.  The shirts will look great going to the Cardinal game on May 22nd.  Mary can also arrange for a collared shirt if you prefer.  We will place the order about the first week in May to insure arrival by our trip to St. Louis.
