T-shirts and caps available

Posted on March 8, 2019 by dug

The 2019 EAA Chapter 1541 t-shirts and caps have arrived. Both the t-shirts and caps feature the updated chapter logo. The shirts are a sky blue color, and the cap is dark blue with white trim. Both will be available for purchase at chapter events for $15 apiece. The 2019 Gold Members can choose either a cap or a t-shirt and receive it as a member benefit. We also have on hand some women’s sizes and it is a simple process to order more.

The chapter is also going to make available nice-quality polo shirts but these will be pre-ordered and pre-paid by those who want them before we place the order. Look for details soon on polo shirts.
