CafePress.com is a "print on demand" company that offers an inexpensive way for our club to make money.
Though we only make $3.00 on each sale - every bit helps!

In order to keep our "eShop" free, we are only allowed 12 products to be available at any time. We will rotate designs and products based on your feedback. Please let us know if there is something you would like to see offered here.

A special thanks goes to our club member
Sue Herber for providing some of the artwork used on many of the items in our shop.
