Ed Pearson has a source to make pins, 3/4" diameter with the new logo for $1.60 each, minimum of 200 ($320), or 500 for $650. There are no setup fees and shipping is included. Motion to order 200 pins at $320 (McCoy/Pearson) withdrawn since there are so few members in attendance. Decision is tabled until next meeting.
