About the WAA-08

And we just knew that somebody would become a prankster.  Here is all of the fun stuff that a bunch of model airplane people can come up with.

We have a need for pilots in the following states.

We now have a source for excellent quality stitched patches.  The design is the same that Warren has made for our official WAA-08 decal.
The vendor requires a minimum order of 50 patches, so I need 50 paid orders before I can place the order.

Don will place the order after he receives 50 paid orders.  Delivery from the vendor to Don will take 4-5 weeks after the order has been placed.

The cost per patch is $4.89 (shipping included).
This is the amount that you will send as a PayPal order to:
waatreasurer2@gmail.com

PayPal will bill you their service fee.
2.9% + $0.30 per transaction
This is an assurance that the money has been posted in our account..

The patches will be sent in a First Class business envelope, with two stamps affixed.  This will cover an order for two patches.  If you want more than two patches, please add one extra stamp for each additonal patch.

Weekly order total will be posted here.

The orders are starting to come in quickly, so I advise everyone to get their orders in right away.  I have a feeling that we will reach 50 very soon.

Collage orders now total 17 as of February 9th, 2009. Using PayPal has been beneficial for those who don't use checks. The upside of using PayPay is that the orders can be placed faster, because of the snail mail delay time and I don't have to wait for checks to clear with the bank. I encourage using PayPal rather than checks. There has been one order for 4 prints and two orders for 3 prints, Ordering multiple prints in one order reduces the overall shipping cost.

 For example: Shipping cost for 1 print is $3.99.

 For multiple prints: $3.99 for the first print, then 99 cents for each additional print.

 That's a huge savings!!!

 I've had very complimentary reports on the printing quality and the design.

That makes it worthwhile, as I continue to capture the "Spirit" of our great adventure with the 2009 version.
