Not to be a party pooper. But if there are a bunch of sponser LOGOs on the shirts they should be paid for by the sponsers. This thing is starting to look like a big money maker for someone. It started out as just a friendly get together by a bunch of FJ owners. I hope it stays that way.

Of course any logos on the shirt will be paid for by sponsors. Most sponsors do so in support of the event and to advertise. Usually there sponsor "money" is in the form of
products giveaways which will be raffled back to the participants. Each registrant will get a raffle ticket. We will sell additional tickets to raise money.
So you think this is
"looking like a big moneymaker????" I assure you that is BULLSH!T. Moneys raised are being used to offset cost for drivers goodie kits( including the free drivers shirts we are doing here), event planning, advertising, catered dinner, possible guest speakers, rental amenities, event insurance etc. We are expecting more than 200 people to show up. We are committed to providing a well planned, thought out, safe and enjoyable experience for all.
ALL OF THIS is being planned by a grass roots group of VOLUNTEER forum members. Yes they are professionals in their daily lives and their VOLUNTEER efforts are making this a first class event. We have formed a NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION, FJSummit.org, Inc. to accomplish this planning, get a bank account etc . ALL proceeds are going to the event with any residual being donated to charity.
By the way the account currently has ZERO dollars in it.
If you QUESTION anybody's motives here. I suggest you PM me and GET THE FACTS!
