Giveaways are not a must. Many teams give buttons with a team name, #, or shirt design. Some get things representative of their team name and add their team # with stickers or file folder labels. Some have things imprinted because they have a resource (donated) or the funding. It is to show spirit. The kids are proud and want everyone to know who they are.
As to shirts:
Good Morning FLL Teams,
Sadly, it looks like work demands are going to keep me from actively coaching this season but I may be able to help folks with their T-shirt dilemma…
My company offers screen printing and embroidery along with a host of other services. Having been the coach of a team where money is tight (and that’s everyone these days isn’t it) I understand your dilemma. Please feel free to contact me. For FLL teams I would be willing to do small quantities if that’s what you need. We will also extend a special FLL discount if you let me know that it’s for your team. We have experience filling orders all over the state because we do a lot of work with 4H and also some church groups.
Does some one know any place or vendor where we can get the t-shirts made. We are in fairfax county. Also any idea for the give-aways? Is this a must too, BTW? Thanx in advance.
