Sorry took so long to get back, they stopped making them because the reflective was two expensive. The main guy is on injury and have not been able to reach him. Our big game is march 29th so I will track him down then.
Thanks for your interest in helping our efforts.
We need immediate assistance in two areas: filling state and regional coordinator positions for Colorado and raising money for expenses through the sale of t-shirts. T-shirts can be bought individually or in quantity on our site: www.honortheirsacrifices.com/wear
I have also attached our informational letter to this note, after you have had a chance to review it, perhaps we can find a time to speak about how you or someone you may know can help us?
