Carl and all, (G10 GRNO-WEAR update)
Today I spoke with one of the G10 and he passed along this information. He certainly doesn't want to get into the inventory/stockpile business but was receptive to ordering more caps and shirts in time for the shareholder meeting. The lead time for delivery at his end is approximately two weeks.
Obviously, some of the obstacles to overcome are logistics, coordination of orders, and means of payment (for those not travelling to SC).
They are very high quality and tastefully done. The shirt is one of those heavy cotton golf/polo styles, white with dark blue collar and dark green band around bottom of sleeves. GRNO in embroidered on left in a slightly lighter green. The caps are that thick cotton look and are tan with a dark green bill. Embroidered on the front is Green Oasis in cursive and on the back is the stock symbol.
Initially, the G10 man told me to have anyone interested to give him a call, but that certainly could have ended up a real CF for him. So, I'm throwing this out (on a very slow news day for those uninterested parties <g>) to solicit suggestions for a plan on two fronts. We need come up with a rough count of those interested in cap/shirt who will be in Charleston, and another count and plan for those not attending.
I don't have the exact cost, but expect to pay boutique/pro shop prices along the lines of $15-20 for the hats and $30 something for the shirts. G10 was checking with his connections for exact figures.
So, for the sake of privacy and expediency I know of no other way to gather all the information other than by posting it here. I guess the priority for anyone who wants to pick up the spring collection at the meeting is to get their orders in quickly so I can pass the information on to the G10. Feel free to respond to this post, as I sit here all day and enjoy the company!
Sorry for the clutter this venture may produce but, hey it's been slow lately!
So, post away or offer me any other suggestions. Time is of the essence.
Bye for now,
