What do you all want to do for jerseys? I think it would be easiest if we all went for the World Vision jerseys. We don’t have enough time left to design custom jerseys.
[added by editor-- Addional information on World Vision from Heather N.]
Here is the website for Team World Vision. They already have a fund raising page set up for STP. It looks like they are raising funds for Haiti relief, and I think we can raise any amount. We can order jerseys and shorts in 5-7 days. Jerseys are $50 and shorts are $65.

One advantage of fund raising for World Vision, is that you can enter other events like a marathon, half marathon, triathlon, etc. I know that Pastor Dale is doing the Chicago Marathon through IJM, and other people at LCC have run marathons too. It would be great to form a team of people who could even walk a half or full marathon, and form a team together.
Jon also had a great idea of the STP team raising funds for World Bicycle Relief. We could set a goal to raise enough funds for a certain number of bicycles, and get people to sponsor us per mile. We could keep LCC posted on our results, and make it kind of a community challenge. I think whatever we do, it would be a great awareness builder for that charity, and I’d personally prefer to be riding for a cause.

I don’t think that we should do custom jerseys this time so World Vision jerseys are a good idea. It would be nice to have a cause more bike oriented so consider World Vision bicycle donation (http://donate.worldvision.org/OA_HTML/xxwv2ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?lpos=ctr_txt_bicycle_readMore&item=1635388&go=item&) or as previously mentioned, World Bicycle Relief.
