EMR T-shirts & Call for Photos

Hello everyone,

We have made a T-shirt for the 10th Anniversary of the EMR Conference.

To simplify things we have put it up on Cafe Press so that people could just order one at their own convenience.

On the other hand, they are a bit pricey (+20 with s/h) and so we want to put a bulk order in to offset the cost.

If you want to get in on the bulk order then send me a check for $14 and your t-shirt size.


Also, we are trying to get a Roberts 10th Anniversary DVD and would love to include your pictures, if you have any, from past Roberts Conferences. If you have more than five I would ask that you send them on a CD to the address below.

I hope I've covered everything.

If you are going to order a shirt or send pictures they need to be sent within the next week so that everything is ready before the conference.

Oh, you can check the T-shirt out here:

Thanks.
Look forward to seeing everyone in Kentucky,
