“I want a CSS Shirt” fundraiser campaign

Hi Friends and Members!

I am back from Cambodia and brought our official CSS Shirts as promised! These shirts are ALL made in Cambodia and each hand screened. I took videos of how our shirts was made.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJIMd6K5E9w. These shirts are limited and only available in Black with white print. (Video has yellow print because I had them test different colors as sample). Unisex sizes range from S-XL. Will be available on next meeting for $10 each. There is a logo on front and right arm as well. Each shirt sale will go to club to raise funds for our culture show expense. Contact us if you want to arrange sale outside of meeting times.

Thanks for your continuing support and to our "I WANT A CSS SHIRT" Fundraiser Campaign

Best,
Michael Saing
