Put me down for one for last year. I regret that we didn't get a patch last year, seeing how it was orange, and I totaled Nano on the Dragon this fall. It seems like fate that the new color for this year is purple, which is the color of Nano's replacement. I really hope I can get one patch from last year. If there isn't enough demand, does anyone have an extra one they'd like to sell?

The actual minimum order is 100 patches but 50 patches is around the break-even point on cost. Last November I did a patch sale for MSSD (MINIs Slay the Sleeping Dragon) and although only about 12 people ordered them they were willing to pay extra to get them. So everyone chipped in between $20-$30 to cover the cost and then took several patches each. Proceeds from the additional patches sold at the event were contributed to the event charity.
As we get closer to the order deadline we can see if those who want MOTD patches will be wiling to do something like this.

If you have ordered patches PLEASE check the list in post #2 to confirm you are listed there. I just went through and checked everything, finding some errors and omissions.
And please continue to hold off on payments for the MOTD5 patches as it currently looks like there won't be enough orders to get those this year.
VERY IMPORTANT - When you send your PayPal payment please include a note telling me your NAM name. And if you forget to do that then please send me a PM with your real name or email address so I can match things up.
We only need 18 more Veteran patches to make the minimum. You're gonna see people with them at Fontana and you'll be wishing you had one. So why wait? Remember, the patch sale is for Easter Seals so you get to own a piece of cool MINI swag and feel GOOD about it. (OK, OK I feel pretty good about all my MINI swag but you get my point, right?)

I just ordered a 2008 patch but didn't have a comment box to leave my NAM name. Sorry about that.
Thanks for getting the patches made. They are a great souvenir for each year's trip.

OK, I have an update on the MOTD5 patches. I found a vendor who will produce less than 100 as a minimum order. Currently just eight people have indicated they want a MOTD5 patch. I may be able to order as few as 30 but the price per patch will go up. So if you're on the list for a MOTD5 patch please PM with your thoughts. Are you willing to pay $8 or $10 for one patch? That may be what it takes to get this done.
