Members of Team V.C.R. in the Entrepreneurship 300 class are offering the opportunity to customize your own T-shirt. Pre-orders are now being accepted.
Currently, two shirts are available for customization: tie-dye shirts and shirts with custom graphics. For the tie-dye shirts, we will most likely have two packaged kits to choose from – one containing everything you need to make your own shirt and a second, less expensive kit with all the necessary supplies except for the shirt itself. Both kits will likely cost under $10 apiece.
For custom graphics shirts, we are open to accepting custom designs that you submit and we place on your T-shirt. The only requirements are that designs need to be George Fox appropriate and not a trademarked logo such as the Nike swoosh. The designs also need to fit on one piece of paper. These shirts will most likely cost around $10 each.
If you are interested in either of these options, contact Christopher Kampmann at kampmannc13@georgefox.edu. When placing an order for the tie-dye shirts, let him know your kit preference and, if purchasing a shirt, your shirt size. If ordering a custom graphics shirt, send him your shirt size and graphic.
The option that receives the most pre-orders is what we will most likely sell. We would also like to personally reach out to any sports teams or clubs that would like to have their own custom shirt.
Don’t forget tonight’s (Thursday’s) concert in Bauman Auditorium. Kenn Willson, a Bösendorfer Educational Artist and professor of music history and keyboard studies, will present his “Encounters with Beethoven†concert at 7:30 p.m.

Are you interested in missions as a career or are you looking to invest yourself in a summer or year-long internship? Attend one of Roger Newell’s classes tomorrow (Friday), either at 11:40 a.m. (Hoover 208) or 1:40 p.m. (Stevens 101) to hear Steve Vinton, director of Village Schools, as he tells his story of building schools in Tanzania.
Steve will be sharing the story of his mission to recruit teachers for the schools he builds in Tanzania in a partnership model with the villages as well as what can be accomplished to help educate children who otherwise would not have the opportunity to go to school.
Hope to see you there!
