Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Stickers Please Re: 2021 Event T-Shirts
The stickers were returned to NJ along with the unsold 2020 shirts when I left the national board. I am particularly proud of them; two out of three were my design. The t-shirt was my design too. I had a great year as a graphic designer. ;) On Mon, Feb 8, 2021, 6:15 AM Sentry TV via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Whatever happened to the stickers idea?
We had some stickers done for VCF PNW back in March 2020. I will have to see if we got those back over here in NJ. This is something that I will think about and work on as I make plans for VCF East 2020 and or the Swap Meet in April.
I know there was some discussion but I don't know what happened?
Covid-19 happened. We had put out a survey of 10 sticker designs and I believe we took the top 3 and made them. We were going to sell at VCF PNW, which was cancelled and then VCF West and East went virtual so there was no opportunity to sell in-person and it wasn't practical to sell online at the time. I have to check in the boxes of stuff that was shipped back to NJ from Seattle to see if the stickers were included in the shipment. We had the swap meet in November, but the stickers and the 2020 t-shirts were in Seattle at the time. The swap meet was quickly arranged and it was our first one so there was little time to plan. We will have the VCF 2019 and remaining VCF 2020 t-shirts for the next Swap Meet April 24 (with rain date of April 25). Keep in mind there is limited sizes for the t-shirts, they are just leftovers that didn't sell before. We don't plan on printing new ones for the swap meet at this time. Also we have plenty of VCF polos in every size available.
We also don't want to get too many of any particular swag before we have an idea of how well they will sell in-person. We have been brainstorming for a while about what kind of swag will sell or not sell. We will often try it out with a small quantity to see what will sell before scaling up or buying more for the next year. I know with East from 2019 there was a lot of interest in swag of all kinds and we sold out of many items that sat around not selling for a while from previous shows. It's always difficult to gauge what will interest people. We had coffee cups made for VCF West and PNW and very few sold and sat around for 2 or 3 years and then at East 2019 every single one sold out.

Hi Everyone,
With the news that VCF East has been postponed to the Fall, we are able to move forward with one of many projects to give members more input into the day to day running of VCF.
To that end, we're going to try a new approach to designing the T Shirts. For those who may not know, we design one t-shirt for all events in the year (VCF East, VCF West, and, historically, VCF Pacific Northwest).
Is there a way I can order a few? On Mon, Feb 8, 2021, 9:23 PM Michael Brutman via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Talk to Jeff ... Everything was sent to him weeks ago. While we are on the topic, there is always the possibility of doing new stickers too. Somebody just has to coordinate it. On Mon, Feb 8, 2021, 7:14 PM Christian Liendo <cliendo@gmail.com> wrote:
