Ok folks , we need to know who wants a Marley memorial T shirt ? Unfortunately the suppliers of these custom T's have gotten more picky when it comes to quantity , and we need to sell at least 20 here to make this work .

 Dusty

Put me down for one. Medium, if possible. Otherwise, I'll take what I can get.

I’m in for the rally and one Marley T shirt.  2XL. 

Not sure if you have picked a design yet.  My suggestion would be to have some reference to Cedar Vale or MG.   For example, “Official Cedar Vale Rally Dog.”   A sketch of the pavilion.   “You meet the nicest humans on a Moto Guzzi.” Etc.

 The artist in Minnesota is finalizing the design , on the back it will have the "Moto Guzzi , the official motorcycle of Cedar Vale" logo , with a stylized peace sign underneath . On the front will be an artist's rendition of Marley , with something about benefiting the shelter in Newton KS . We had to order 60 to get a price break , so far between the two groups we are at about 20 . I really do think we won't have much trouble moving another 35 . There is an effort being made by a small group in Arkansas to take the image to at least a regional distribution , minus the motorbike references , maybe help raise some money for other no-kill shelters . Dunno , what anyone does outside of our events isn't in my purview , although the guy spearheading the effort did ask for permission .

Over the journey, I’ve found that when you are trying to deal with something like the passing of Marley, the rollicking humour of good quality mates that will allow you to express yourself emotionally at your lowest ebb, is the tonic that sits best where you need it most.
I have found at times like that, the tougher the person is that hugs you, the softer it feels....
Wherever Marley is going I trust he will have a great ride, as long as he’s not on a Guzzi, he’ll probably get there.. :thumb:
ps..
Funny thing May 6, that’s the date that I always collect my bike in London..(but not this year... :sad:)

 My dad and his girlfriend may come down just to check things out for the weekend. How do the RV spaces work? How many are they? Is it first come, first serve, or can they reserve one?

 Nice day in Cedar Vale today , although it is windy .

 We are still looking good , I am feeling hopeful that we will get to rally , maybe those of you who were hoping for the Illinois rally might consider Cedar Vale as an alternative . Really , in person I am a nice guy , well mostly  :laugh: Just ask Chuckie's lovely wife , she'll tell ya  :grin:

 No rush on deposits since we aren't 100% yet , April 19 is the deadline .

 Already seeing some deposits and raffle bike tickets selling , as in previous years , Bert Remington (Robert) is being very generous , as are other WGer's .

 Before he day is out promise to update the first post with an attendee list .

 Oh , don't forget the Marley T shirts .

I’m hoping to attend along with Motoark2.  Couple of variables to work out shortly with family,  but if it lands the way I hope, I’ll see you there!

Looking forward to attending. I believe it will actually be the first time traveling to Kans Ass for me. Can't think of a better reason.

Will probably go with this drawing on one side of the shirt and the pictured peace symbol on the other. Marley's final drawing will include all of his head and more chest just couldn't get it all in the snapshot.
