T-Shirts Now Available
It has been a tough week for us all. We have lost a beloved member of our guild, but in his passing, we should remember even moreso to celebrate his wonderful life. We may have known Rikzo as the loveable and generous warlock of our guild and the undisputed king of farming, but he most definitely left a mark on all of us beyond just the game. We will all miss him dearly.
In addition to taking whatever actions we are capable in Rik's honor and sending our condolences to his family, we have created shirts available to anyone who wishes to purchase one in his memory. The design for this shirt is available through SpreadShirt. Attached below are the URLs to purchase one for those of us who expressed interest:
- NEW URL* - http://diewithmusic.spreadshirt.com/
*Note: Unfortunately the website kept deleting the URL previously, and when I spoke with customer service they asked that I set up a "shop" instead. This means that you can no longer change the apparal type, although you should still be able to change the color and size. Sorry if you wanted the shirt in a different brand of tee. On the plus side, the cost is now reduced. Any proceeds from the store will be donated to the American Red Cross.
They are your standard 100% cotton t-shirt purchaseable in a large array of sizes. Shipping should be a flat fee of $4.50 to the United States and $5.50 to Canada.

BACK (Guild Emblem):
I have already purchased my shirt, and the process seems straightforward. Please contact me (Eclaire) in guild if you have any questions or need any help in ordering or changing the product.
Finally, there have also been discussion of setting up a online "scrapbook" of sorts with screenshots or any other memorable images we each would like to share and compile them somewhere on our guild website. We'll add more details about this project in this space as we discuss further what our final plan will be.

A heartfelt thank you to this group for your sympathies, support and this awsome t-shirt. My family is still greiving the loss of our dad but the card from the guild and this t-shirt have lifted our spirits. WOW was an important part of my dad's life and brought him a lot of joy. And I thank you for being a part of that.
I ordered my shirt right away and can't wait to wear it proudly. Thank you, Melody, for your work on this. It's a perfect tribute to my dad.

Hi David. I don't know if anyone sent this link to you but it's a link to a slide show my sister put together at my dad's service. Though you might like to share it with the guild. Thanks. Tara

Hi Tara,
Do you mind if I post this conversation (and pic) on our guild website?

> Thank you David. I saw the link and ordered a t-shirt. I'm very excited to get it. My dad and I played WoW together at least once a week. When I was pregnant with my first child I was on three months of bed rest and my dad and I played every day. It literally got me through it all. I'm feeling a little lost because my dad looked out for me on WoW and helped me with everything, as it turns out I wasn't the only one he helped. :) WoW and all of my dad's WoW friends have such a special place in my heart. Clark has been keeping us up on everyone's well wishes and I love hearing how much my dad touched everyone's lives. I was unaware of the request to Blizzard but I think it is a fabulous way to honor my dad. Thank you so much for all the love and please let everyone know that we appreciate all they are doing. Thanks agin.

Historically, the website has been under utilized but you can see the link we have for a memorial tee-shirt. I presume Clark has told you of other ongoing efforts (e.g. a request into Blizzard to name a non-player character after your Dad's toon name). Though not well portrayed via the website, your Dad was a very big part of our guild and personally in mine and my wife's lives.
