    Jenny Ewing Shirts- Ready to order

    Ok, I decided to start a new thread since the other one was becoming a bit large.. But if you get a chance check out the most recent post from Jenny's sister on that thread. It makes me cry to think what that family is going through.
    So after speaking with Jenny's sis and getting input from the family this is what will be on the shirts:

    A woman should never be afraid to ride alone.

    In memory of Jenny Ewing *Proverbs 31: 10-31*

    "Her children rise up and call her blessed."

    This is what we would like to be on there. If that is a problem let me know. I appreciate you so much more than I can express. I am the "little sister" even at 38, and it is hard to find the right things to do to help my family get through this time. That was usually Jenny's job.
    Stay safe

    I will work with the printer tomorrow to get this in a nice font and looking good. I want this shirt to be classy and for people to really notice it, so they may ask, and we may bring awareness.

    The printer has told me that he has no problems with doing these in multiple colors (within reason of course) so we have the following options:
    All fabric is cool max
    White regular neck unisex shirt with purple text
    black regular neck unisex shirt with purple text
    pink v neck womens shirt with text in another color- not sure what will look best yet so will check with the rep. I'd say white but that may blend in too much.
    light blue v neck womens shirt again with text in a contrasting color.

    Here is the website so you can check them out:

    http://www.coolmaxclothing.com/shortsleevecrew.html

    There is a size chart on there as well.

    What I need from all of you is what size, and color you would like so that I know how many of each to order. I'm going to order a few extra of each so we should have plenty, but I want to get a rough estimate.
    I'll deal with the $$ and all that later. I just need some rough numbers for now.
    Thanks girls!

    Oh- and for those that didn't see the other email, the cost is 15.00 per shirt. I'm thinking shipping should be less than 3.00 as I can ship them in an envelope. But I would like to be able to send some $$ to the Sandy Springs Mission ( the familys choice of where they would like $$ to go)so I would ask that you pay either 20.00 or 25.00 when the time comes. ALL extra $$ will go to the Mission. I am doing this because I feel called to, and I want to see the Mission get as much $$ as possible.

    color suggestion for pink shirts

    What about purple lettering of the pink shirts? Since she loved to wear purple and it would be visable on the pink. Just a thought.

    OK, then, I'd like one v-neck blue in large, and one regular white in extra large.

    Hi RM -

    God Bless You for doing this.. I have thought about Jennifer & her family every single day ...

    Is there any way of perhaps putting the photo of Jenny with her bike on the shirt?

    Will the sizes be S - XL only, or are they going to make XXL & 3XL as well?

    I checked the coolmax site & the prices for the larger sizes (over XL) will be more money.

    Here's the women's sizing guide from the coolmax link.

    Women sizing guide:
    Small- Size 4-6
    Medium- Size 8-10
    Large- Size12-14
    XL- Size 16-18
    XXL- Size 20

    Have a peaceful day!

    Denise

    Thank you so much for coordinating this. I'd like a blue V-neck in XL.

    I think purple text would look very good on both the pink and blue V-necks.

    Proverbs

    Here is the thing: I don't care if you are Muslim, Christian, Atheist, Jewish, or just plain goofy. Look up the Scripture. Consider it just a good piece of writing if you have to. I can't think of a single woman who would not want to be remembered in this way. "Her children will call her blessed" is awesome, but keep going to the end. Every sentence of 10 -31 describes her perfectly. Things I can't even begin to convey in words. SO, I understand that not all people are Christians, but this is about Jenny and there are NO better words to describe her than this. I really do understand though. I thank you all for your compassion in this matter. You all continue to amaze me. I never knew what a true "community" cyclists are. Stay safe!

    Thanks Denise 223! I totally missed that!
    Ok so for the larger sizes I would say just add the extra couple of dollars on and we'll be good. I'm not too worried about a couple of bucks. I just want to be sure we can make some $$ for the Sandy Springs Mission.

    RM - can you change mine to a pink V-neck in a small (instead of a medium)? Thanks!

    Oh, and I'm not Christian (or any religion for that matter) and while I hesitated when I saw the inclusion of scripture, I also realized that this shirt is not about me...it's about Jenny. I will wear it not to make a statement about who I am, but to make one about who she was and what she means to all of us in the cycling community.
