Thanks to One Mission for giving us the opportunity to offer our favorite shirts to more people! Now you can order different styles and colors too! And take a closer look at the page...if you aren't a t-shirt person, you can get a mug as well! Note: The online shirts are a little different, mainly that the print is in all white. The added benefit for the MVL Club is that we will now receive 40% of the sales, which we can use to do great things in our community and beyond! As always, we receive 40% of the sales through our page on One Mission for anything purchased!
