<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hi all - Hope all is well. I had a notion wanted to run by you all and see if any interest.<br><br></div>I
coach my 12 yo son's baseball team, and this coming summer they are
traveling from Minnesota to Cooperstown, NY to play in a week-long
baseball tournament there. There is a lot of excitement around it, as
our association sends only one team a summer, and only at 12U. So it's a
one-time opportunity for the kids.<br><br></div>Anyway, it's also
self-funded and expensive, and we have a number of families for whom it
is a significant financial challenge, so we are doing a number of
fund-raising efforts. Overall, our pie-in-the-sky goal is $20,000,
which would cover registration fees, lodging, and other expenses for the
players and families.<br><br></div>I was wondering if any owners would
be interested in having their IBL cards printed, cut, sorted, and mailed in
exchange for a donation to our fundraising. Basically I was thinking
$50 plus costs (printing and postage, which I would document with
receipts). I would arrange for the printing, then get the kids together
to do the sorting. I'd package and mail out to you.<br><br>Below is a
thread from last year on card printing. From it, it looks like printing/cutting
generally runs $25-$30 (I think that's what I paid last year too). I
would use Rusty's method unless you had other individual instructions,
which we'd try to honor. Here is Rusty's method from below:<br><br><b>"65 pound <span class="">card</span> stock, hitters on blue, pitchers on green, park <span class="">cards</span> on yellow, charts on ivory."</b><br><br></div>I'm
can't recall when cards usually come out, but the goal would be to get
the cards in the mail within a week of release, hopefully sooner.<br></div><div><br>If
you were interested, let me know. I have a Paypal account, so if you
are interested and have one, that would be a fairly easy payment
method. If no or little interest, no worries at all, and in any event
thanks to you all for considering it.<br><br></div>- David<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 10:33 PM, Jocelyn Labbe <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jocelyn_labbe@me.com" target="_blank">jocelyn_labbe@me.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I ordered my set over the web this evening and will pick them up tomorrow at Staples. $25 canadian.

Now I tried online, we will see if they got the instructions right!<br>
