[vcf-midatlantic] Stickers Please Re: 2021 Event T-Shirts

[Michael Brutman]

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. ;)
