[Scott Janzen]

Tee Shirts - even though we don't have a design to show yet, you should 
expect price  will be about $16 for short sleeve and $20 for long sleeve.
Polo Shirts - someone mentioned they would like to see these as a choice and 
we could offer one if there is enough interest so please vote on this too. 
Probably $25
