To celebrate this event, I have created a commemorative static cling decal (for inside of glass). They are selling for $5.00 each (postage and handling included). Special volume discounts are offered for people who wish to distribute them within clubs. You can see what it looks like at the following web site (scroll to the bottom of the page) http://www.spitlist.info/centercaps.html Banners are also being made on special order requests.

Sales have been strong but several people have asked about sticky-back decals so I have been considering putting together a production run of those as well. Several people in the FOT have already put in their orders. So in order to keep production costs down, I want to do all them in one production run. Toward that end, I have 3 sizes that I can produce together in the same run. Here are the details: Size Cost 11.6" wide by 6.3" high $25.00 each 10" wide by 5.5" high $22.50 each 6.75" wide by 3.75" high $12.00 each Plans are to do the run in mid January because of he time of the year and all the hassles concerning that. So if anyone wants to get in on this single production run, please notify me before the first week in January.
