Fall '06 Meeting Minutes
T-shirts and Sweatshirts A new design was brought in and voted on, due to a delay in the processing of the previous design. On the front is the club logo, and on the back is a neat Cougar graphic with the text "Is it in you?" (you'd have to see the t-shirt to understand). The shirts will be crimson with white screening, and will cost around $9-10. Email the club with your desired size if you're interested in a t-shirt or sweatshirt.
