Ship's Store Scuttle
Butt Page
A new term, new items and a new way of doing business.
Our reunion in South
Dakota was great! Mount Rushmore, the Badlands and Custer
State Park will always be something to remember. Ship Store sales went through the roof and I'm
completely sold out of Sweat Shirts, hats, and all but one size small
jacket.Suggestions made at the 2006 reunion
brought
about some new and different Ship Store items. This reunion was no different. You can
expect to see new clothing items and I'll be bringing back the Hector
mug. I will be working closely with the vendors
with hopes of having these items available for this Holiday Season.
In addition to new items you may notice a slightly new look to our Ship
Store's web page. To help serve you better I have been working
with
Dennis, our Webmaster. Thanks to Dennis I've learned to produce
a web site that I can directly input new information and receive your
comments.
In the future I hope to bring you not only new items but Special Order
Items such as:
Sweaters, packable rain jackets and other items that YOU and some of
your friends would like to purchase.
I hope that this new approach will prove to be beneficial to all.
I am in the process of restocking
items
so if you're looking to purchase anything please check below for what
is
still available. I expect the ship store to be up and running
at full speed by mid October. New items will be in limited supply so when
they become available, you better order fast.
NOTICE OF PRICE INCREASE
Your
ship store had been able to hold down the price of merchandise for over
two years. Low Prices, Free shipping and added Savings was my way
of saying Thank You for your support and to Promote Membership.
Due
to the increase cost of merchandise and postage I can no longer hold
the
line on several of our items. Beginning
October
1st, 2008 the prices on all Caps will be increased by $1. Jackets, Polo
Shirts, and Sweatshirts will be increased by $2. All Other items,
because of the low mailing costs will remain at their current
price.
I will do my best to help hold the new prices through 2010.
Your ship's store still has the
best
competitive
prices and quality merchandise. Most importantly, every cent
helps to support your
association.
