Yard Sale! 5/30/09

Posted by Admin On May - 27 - 2009
The year is almost coming to an end, can you believe it? So as we said at the last
meeting, our spring quarter yard sale is coming up this Saturday, May 30th. We're
looking for willing members to come out and help sell, or donate! "One man's trash
is another man's treasure."  The sale will be from 7:00am - noon at the home of our
gracious publicity chair, MJ Vennat.  Please let us know if you are able to donate
or help out, we greatly appreciate it.  We can also arrange to pick up donations
from you.

For the address, sign-ups and contact, please see the Facebook event.  You can also
contact any of the officers for the information.

T-Shirt Designs

Posted by uciflyingsams On May - 18 - 2009

We are still in need of a new t-shirt design. If you’re interested in having your design immortalized in the annals of Flying Sams history, please submit your designs! Don’t worry if you don’t have all the necessary skills to make an awesome design, other members are more than willing to help out. If you’re only good at drawing, just upload a scan of your hand-drawn picture and another member will photoshop it to perfection for you. If you can’t draw but are willing to help photoshop pictures, leave us your contact information and we’ll make good use of your skills. Feel free to comment or ask questions below. Thanks!
