*LOL* The surfing squirrel was created by one of the chapter sisters and the guy who works at the printing company.
We thought that it would be cute to have Recruitment shirts that are unique to Hawaii, so the idea of surfing and Hawaiian print immediately came to mind. The only thing missing was the squirrel, and it looked so darling!
It's ironic that we have a design like that, because there are no squirrels in Hawaii. In fact, I've never ever seen one up close before.
After we made the shirts for the chapter, we found out that the alumnae wanted them too...and boy, did they buy a lot. One of the alums suggested that we should sell them to other AGD chapters and offered to front the money to print out all these shirts.
With AGD's fundraising policies, we had to keep fundraising sales limited to word of mouth, but there was nothing wrong with putting up a personal site with the T-shirt design. Pretty soon sisters from all over the world bought shirts, and we were able to send 5 to Convention! Whatever money is left over will definitely go to Foundation.
