Please note the following important items

T-Shirts

We have arranged t-shirts for the event for people who want them. If you want to order one the cost will be $5. The PA is subsidizing the rest of the cost. We are working to finalize the order form with the printing company. We were trying to have it ready for the weekend, but it looks like it won't be until Monday, June 17. As soon as we have the form we will send it out. Orders will need to be placed by 1:00 PM on Wednesday. We apologize for the rush, but the decision to do t-shirts was a last minute addition.
You will be able to pay for your t-shirts at the time you order them. They will be delivered on the 29th at the camping event. If you have any questions, please email us at pa@mch-pa.org.
