On the division tshirts/sweatshirts, I ordered mine when my son went through online from Poseidon Sportswear. I found a number for them" 972-347-6655 Probably best to call to see the best way to order them. Their fax number is 972-347-6658

LaLa- thank you for the information and making these beautiful ribbons.

Diana- those questionnaires are awesome....I can't wait to send them out.
Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 6, 2010 at 12:31pm
ladypinkhatter- the name on the ribbon is your recruits name can be first, last or nick name, whichever you prefer, all 800 divisions use first name or nick name only for security purposes.
Comment by Kgswifeforever on October 6, 2010 at 12:20pm
im assuming your recruit can get it for you. idk if you order it ahead of time or not:/ can anyone help?
Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on October 6, 2010 at 12:16pm
So help me understand about the t-shirt/sweatshirts. We can either order them ahead of time OR after the fact but it needs to be done through our recruit? I'd love to get them, just need to make sure I know how.

I did order my ribbons today too!!! We are going to be one pride sporting group!!!
Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on October 6, 2010 at 12:06pm

@letzfly - if you go up to the discussions above, the second page of them you will find a link to questionnaires. They are awesome!!!
Comment by ladypinkhatter on October 6, 2010 at 12:01am
Congratulations to all who received letters! I'm glad the two recruits have "bounced back" from having their wisdom teeth pulled.

The names on the ribbon, is it the recruits name or our name?

I am on the west coast, so I know if I am getting a letter it is going to take a lot longer.....it's ok...no news is (still) good news. I will keep sending her letters.
