I'm guessing that in the effort to get the fundraising t-shirts out that
we haven't been able to send people t-shirts for running relays.
We've been doing our best, but we've been forced to neglect our relay
operators.

For months, sad and dejected volunteers have mentioned this. To our
friends, a Tor t-shirt is more than a t-shirt. Also, without our relay
operators, we kind of have a problem. They are our people, they operate
the Tor network, and their morale is important.

I think we should send tor relay operators t-shirts and tuck stickers
into them as well--I think this is very important for reinforcing our
commitment to our community.

I'm wondering if we could collect a bunch of Tor volunteers at the
Seattle office and get a pizza and send out a bunch at the same time?

Willing to do about 100 here, but that involves shipping them here.
However, I am more than willing.

How many do we need to send? How can we figure that out?
