I guess someone had to make sure the ice water didn't leak out. His labors and sacrifices always amaze me.

We are researching that answer--my guess--9 ounces.

13 ounce glasses, and no, they're not used.
(yet)
The only dark colored material I had in the shop was a black velveteen with
shiny sparkles in it. That might account for the photos.
That is not to say that they shouldn't be washed when you get them. The laser
creates little micro-fractures in the glass, so there's glass dust in the lettering.
(that's just how the laser works)
I'd probably wash them more than once, just to be sure.
A little dish soap and one of those non-stick scrub pads works great.
Rinse well. Fill with beverage of your choice..

Yes, the proceeds from these will pay for the plaques that will be awarded to those who win the "pen contests' this year. We have always had prizes for these contests.
I have always believed that the competition is more about "bragging rights" than winning a prize. So, we will be giving a plaque to the winners this year.
While Jeff was willing to "foot the bill", I come from a "Jaycee" background---you want a prize, figure out how to PAY for it. HENCE, these glasses are being used to fund the plaques.
If it fails, the plaques will be funded by Dawn and I. But, it is NOT going to fail----I hope!!
So, that's the "rest of the story"!!

There MAY be a chance to get pairs. The current arrangement is having Charlie ship the sets--
As the bash quiets down (From the Prize-guru point of view), I hope to have him send me a batch that Dawn and I can repackage into pairs and get boxes locally that are made for shipping pairs. IF this happens, we will be able to reduce the cost of shipping and offer two-fers.
Right now, Charlie (NewLondon88) is generously handling the project from stem to stern. He had no idea of the scope, when he "volunteered" to help.
(For those who don't know, this is the downside of listening to Dawn's "sexy voice" on the phone---you can be "volunteered" without necessarily realizing it!!!!
)Seriously---THANK you Charlie!!!!!

keep in mind that the extra two glasses causes a severe jump in the
cost of shipping to Canada (I think it was $56 shipping!)

Just a quick boost for this fund raiser.
Orders are "trickling in". Soon the plaques will need to be purchased to be engraved, so if you are planning on getting a set---the sooner the better!!!
Thanks

We can all get together at a certain time when our glasses arrive and toast the bash team for a job well done!!
Does that mean I get to have a double?!?!
