The 2014 Calendar details:
- Calendars are $25
- Pre-ordered (and a few on-hand) calendars may be picked up at the December 8th Meet ‘n Deet, way ahead of the holidays
- USPS Mailing is $5 for single calendars, $12 for 3-10 calendars (in a box)
- Mailed option is good through Friday, December 13th
- Mailed calendars will go out on Saturday, December 14th -- almost certainly in time for the holidays, but no guarantees! (Hey, we're not Amazon!)
Sound complicated? It is! Well, sort of, anyway... but for a very good cause: this is our main fundraiser each year, and helps keep Trailkeepers of Oregon and the Portland Hikers forum going! This year, our printer has offered us a very good price, so about $15 of your calendar purchase goes toward keeping TKO and the Portland Hikers community in great shape through the coming year! (you can also deduct that amount on your taxes, as TKO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization).
Here's how you can order your calendar(s):
1. Post a pre-order response to this thread telling me (a) how many calendars you'd like, (b) how you'd like to get them in your hands, and (c) how you plan to pay for them (cash, check or PayPal).
2. Come to the Fourth Annual Winter Meet-n-Deet on December 7th to pick up your calendar -- checks and cash will be accepted there -- or you can pre-pay using the PayPal option, above.
3. For mailed orders, please send me a PM with your mailing address -- this is really important, since PayPal doesn't necessarily provide this info.
4. Mailed calendars must be paid for using the PayPal button located in the upper left corner of the main Portland Hikers page (simply enter your payment amount as a "donation") or with a check made out to Trailkeepers of Oregon and mailed by December 13th to:
Trailkeepers of Oregon
PO Box 14814
Portland, OR 97293
That should cover it, but I've undoubtedly missed a critical detail or two...
Jamie does a really super job on these (thanks, Jamie!) They're professional quality, as is the great photography! (thanks, photographers!) If you entered a photo, you're pretty likely to find it somewhere in this year's edition, since Jamie manages to create a very photo-rich design featuring a LOT of image! We also had some help this year sorting through pictures from a couple of our resident photographers -- much appreciated!
TKO and Portland Hikers will only use these photos once, and only once, for this fundraising event, and only in the printed calendar. You won't find your photos used anywhere else -- it won't ever happen without your prior permission, so no worries.
Thanks, everyone! Get those orders in, we only order a limited quantity each year..!
