IRI Quilt 2006 - T-shirts needed!

[Chris Fultz]

This could also be in the Off Season Thread - but I think it will get more visibility here.

Last year a friend of Cyber Blue made a quilt from team shirts from the 2004 IRI. We auctioned it during the 2005 IRI as part of a fund-raising effort for the Methodist Hospital Child Life Center.

We are having the charity auction again at the 2006 IRI, and our friend has agreed to make another quilt <save your money, David and Amanda (or John, whatever!)>. Last year, the quilt went for about $500!

So, we need team shirts! Even if you will not be at the IRI and want your team shirt included, we would love to have it. This is an awesome way to help the IRI help a group of children in the hospital for extended care. The money is used to buy games, toys and other items for an activity room. Last year the money helped with a new TV and DVD player.

We need shirts within the next few weeks, so please send them to:

The more the better - bigger, more colorful!
Maybe some international flavor... ??

Sounds awesome, Chris. I'll try to send down an "I Like Robots" shirt as soon as possible!

[Chris Fultz]

OK folks, so far this is going to be a really, really, really, really small quilt.
Like, maybe a quilt for a kitten, or a mouse, or a small bird, maybe.

So far, the shirt count = 0.

I don't think you are trying....

.... remember, this is for a charity auction at the IRI and all the money goes
to kids....

(excuse me while I go and warn my mailman to expect heavy loads of packages in the next few days.....)

[Nuttyman54]

We've got some extra 2005 shirts. I'll try and send one. Sounds like a GREAT IDEA!

[Goober!!!]

I can try to get you one of 1501's 2006 Scorpion shirt!!! :D :D :D

[mrs. p]

[Katie Reynolds]

I'm not sure if 857 will be there - regardless, I'll contribute a shirt! Which would you prefer - black or blue? :)

[b-rant]

[BRosser314]

I think team 314 might be attending we got an invitation, and were thrilled to compete in another off season. Nevertheless, I will try to send one of our shirts. But things that we need to know is where to send the shirts to. And if i can can someone PM me infor about IRI ie. cost, dates, location :D

[Gene Williams]

Chris- Do they have to all be 2006 team shirts? Or can we send along shirts from prior years as well? (at last count, I had 79 team shirts in my closet that have accumulated over the last 11 years - not including the Hawaiian shirts)

I'll look around our stockpiles for shirts, which I know we have 2 types available for sure. Does the size matter? I'm not sure if our team is going to IRI this year so that is something i'm waiting for info on.

Thank You,
Tomasz Bania

[Jon Jack]

I'll see if we have enough extra shirts to send one of our team shirts and one of our 'Got FIRST' shirts, which we should be giving away in ATL.

[moojoe]

thats awsome. ill see if I can get my mentor, Rich Kressly, to send one down!

[Tim Arnold]

Working on getting a spiffy MARS shirt (http://marsbot.org/gallery/?g2_itemId=5836) up there! I hope large is big enough... we ran out of larger sizes :ahh:

Any year of shirt is great - the main goal is to capture lots of team names and numbers.

If you have one that has the team name and number both on the same side that is best - it becomes one quilt block.


(now we are in trouble, Chief Delphi is turning into a sewing forum.....)

[Chris Fultz]

Does the size matter?

No.

And no smirks or jokes, this is a family forum.... :ahh:

[Rich Kressly]

No.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Anyway, we'll get a 1712 out to you ASAP.

[Chris_Elston]

I am sending you a 1501 shirt in the mail.

It will go out on Tuesday.

[Chris Fultz]

Today's Mail - It was like Christmas in April!

Thanks to everyone sending shirts.

[Kevin Kolodziej]

A 1675 UPS shirt will be on its way on Monday, along with a shirt from the "Who's Got the Uber Tuber" VEX competition this past fall (they are neat shirts, but since its not a team shirt, if you choose not to put it in the quilt, feel free to include it in the auction as a stand alone item).

No Dave, this is not an alternative to actually doing your dirty laundry ;)

Chris, did you get a 1712 yet? We are on spring break this week and our last few shirts currently reside with another one of our teachers. I sent her a message, but I'm not sure if she got to it yet. If you don't have it now, you'll have it next week.

[Tim Arnold]

You will be getting a 2006 MARS shirt shortly!

Thanks for running this brilliant project.

EDIT: The change to the box was my mother's idea... we aren't trying to say anything ;).

I have Martians, More Martians, and now Mars.
Plus a Lavery "My other car is on Mars" shirt.

This quilt will be out of this world....

sorry. ;)

[Chris Fultz]

Thanks to everyone who has sent a shirt or gave us one in Atlanta.
This will be really cool

- maybe we ca find a way to open up the auction even to people who are not at the IRI??

[ssbylake]

Sorry, I just found this project and it may be too later to contribute? DO you still need team shirts? I can send one from team 141 - the wobots if there's still time/room. Susan

[Jeff Waegelin]

I can also send one from the Rat Pack, if there's still time..,
