Joe, all,
At SCALE we solicited donations of $5 for tshirts, $1 for pins and $10
for posters (and $20 for all 3 in a PG tote bag). This was surprisingly
successful, bringing in $241.
I think that asking $5 for shirts in the future is better than asking
$15; people were happy to give us $5. While $5 is below our cost, I
think it's also better than giving the shirts away for free -- when we
do that, many of them end up at Goodwill or in the dumpster.
Since the shirts and posters were paid out of SPI funds, rather than
pg.US, I think it makes sense to donate that money to pg.US. I'm
combining it with an earlier $70 raised at an SFPUG meeting using the
posters.
