I understand that First Night Youngstown will hold a race/fun walk this fall in downtown Youngstown. I sure hope they use American made T-shirts and have the shirts printed by a Youngstown company.
Jay, I'm the chairman of the race and I'm not saying that we won't do that very thing.
But you have to really think things through when you make these demands. As and example,
you are having a fundraiser and the margin of profit is very small to begin with , is it worth it to
add any cost that will almost make the effort not worth the outcome. Again , I am not saying
that we won't do it.
Is there any chance of viewing a shirt prior to the race deadline? I would like to make sure it is an American Made shirt before I enter.
I still have calls out for quotes.
Jay, are you saying that the tee shirt issue is more important than that the event is to raise funds and awareness for a 10th anniversary FNY?
There's a bigger picture. You gotta start somewhere. I agree with Jay.
How about a reduced entry fee if I don't want a foreign made T-shirt?
American made t-shirts........heck, most of the cash for clunkers program went to foreign car dealers........

t-shirts......$6.99 !!!!!!!
THIS IS A FUNDRAISER!!!!!!!!! What if someone comes up and has another reason for wanting to
not pay the full price. Then another and another. I paid my fee and I will be working the race not
walking or running. The big picture here is to support a organization that has worked hard to
provide a quality event for the community. How many times do we all buy tickets for events or
organizations that we know we won't be going to but buy because we support the cause. THIS IS NOT A DRAWN THE LINE IN THE SAND ISSUE!
Although not a T-shirt maker, The Carhartt Clothing Company is closing its last remaining U.S. factory.
I bet the workers at that factory wished people all over this country had been loyal to American Made products.
Jay I don't think anyone would dispute that. What's your point in the the race issue?
Question for Jay:
When you go out to dine, how much of the food products were imported as opposed to being purchased from local producers?
And where were the utensels and paper products made?
if factories are closing and going to overseas for cheap labor. we the people in usa will not have money in our pockets to buy first nite buttons in any usa cities to celebrate first night. jay is right when he states charity begins at home. there is a segment in this society are enjoying a good pension due to good paying union jobs in this town due to buy in america attitude.
BUY USA...
Jay,
did you have the details on the Gobblers Run on this website? I could not find it.
rush those plants that you and your communist neighbor planted were they home grown or imported. ???
I cannot comment at this time.
rush you cannot comment on what? your communist neighbor or the legal status of those planted flowers?
I cannot comment on my communist neighbor nor the plants that were put in the ground. If my neighbor is a communist it is not for me to cast judgement. He is allowed to believe what ever he wants. That's what's wrong in society, we are so quick to judge others, to cast the first stone, to judge a book by its cover. (blah blah blah)
Now, as far as the planting goes. That my friend were grown right here in Youngstown, OHIO USA
rush you will make a great politician someday or some politician spin doctor. you did a great job in answering my question concerning your communist neighbor and plants. are you using ytown water for the flowers or ohio aqua water?
rush- Kudo's I like the way you put iwasthere in check. keep up the good work in the community.
jrs make sure rush and her communist neighbor is using ytown's city water instead of aqua ohio water or big "J" will be breathing hot and heavy on all concerns about the livelihood of all involved in those potted plants. :-X
Will Do!!!!!!!!!!!
thank very much four your comperation. ;D ps my spel cheker ain't workin ;D
I can tell you that my communist neighbor and myself WOULD ONLY use Youngstown Water to quench our potted plants. I am not afraid to say that, nor am I in fear of "J" .
Good thing it's not "Q" then I would feel like I was in a James Bond movie..
TaTa
you go rush girl :o
