NIU memorial shirts
February 19th, 2008 at 09:14pm Jeniece Smith
Thanks to initiative and hard work by students, the NIU memorial T-shirts that were in the works a few days ago are now in their final stages of becoming a reality. Go to niumemorialshirts.com to learn more and to pre-order a shirt.
The shirts are only $10, and every penny of the proceeds will go to the DeKalb/Sycamore Community Memorial Fund and the February 14 Student Scholarship fund.

So sorry to hear of the tragedy at NIU. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Not just the families—it affects the who community. Almost everyone you know in this area knows a student or someone that works at NIU. I would like to order 4 of the t-shirts. Please let me know how to pay for them and get the shirts.

Debbie,
According to the students handling the Web site, you can pick up your shirt if you already ordered one. They just won’t be taking any new orders until they’re certain they can handle the volume of requests coming in. They’ll be updating the Web site with the pickup location, and I’ll try to post it here when they announce it.
Sorry about the confusion. I’m not one of the students running the site or taking orders. I’m just getting the word out there for the students who started the site.
As far as I know, the site will be operating normally again once they have enough shirts to fill orders. Again, if you’ve already ordered, there’s no need to re-order. You can pick up your shirt at the NIU campus. The students running the Web site will be posting soon to let people know the specific pickup location.
Thanks!

I ordered a shirt 2/20 for local pickup. I wondered if you got my order.
Please let me know if I need to reorder. I realize I may need to reorder
in a few days. Thank you.

Debbie,
I just checked the Web site, and it looks as though the students are swamped with orders. They’re getting some help from NIU administrators in being able to provide more shirts, so please check back at niumemorialshirts.com in the next few days. Right now, they’re only able to process pre-orders. They got many more orders than they expected!
When the Web site goes back up, you should be able to order with PayPal or a credit card.
