SALT TRAM: Last of the T-Shirts Available!

The last batch of our Salt Tram T-Shirts are rapidly selling out! We only have about 6 to 8 T-Shirts left, and they are only available in White, XL, short sleeve. They are $16 each (our cost) plus $5 to ship them to you. While out in the desert last weekend, our friend Tracy modeled them with me, and I thought they looked great, and wanted to put them up on this site. To get your shirt, email your request (name, mailing address) to SalineValleySaltTram@GMail.com, and we will send out a shirt, along with a return envelope for your $21 check.

Brian's wife Laura did all the artwork for the shirts, and they look great! The beautiful design on the back was taken from the only known Saline Valley Salt Company stock certificate, where it is pressure embossed on the certificate. This is the only location where this design is know to have been reproduced and used by the Salt Company. Now you can enjoy this beautiful design from a piece of Death Valley area history.

Enjoy the photos, and thanks Tracy! Click to enlarge.

LOCAL: CAPSLO Shelter Volunteer Bob Christenson

One of the great things about living in San Luis Obispo County is the high level of volunteerism in the community. Many of these folks are in the limelight, such as Chris Cohan, who contributed $2,000,000 (2 million dollars) towards the construction of the Cal Poly Performing Art Center. Indeed, Mr. Cohan has the main building named after him: The Cohan Center.

Other folks also contribute in time and money, but either intentionally or deliberately, fly under the radar. Such a man is Bob Christenson, who has volunteered extensively at the local CAPSLO Homeless Shelter Overflow. You can read about Bob in an article in the Tribune newspaper, entitled "Strangers have always depended on his kindness".

Many of you know that I have a passion for doing what I can to help those who live here locally who are not in housing and must live in shelters or find shelter out doors. What Mr. Christenson does, along with many others like him, is typical of what many in our SLO community does to help those in need.

The Tribune article above describes Bob and others like him as "unsung heroes". You too can get involved, help out and be an unsung hero as well. For more details, please contact me: TimWaag@GMail.com. For the month of December 2012, John C. of Carmel Lutheran Church in SLO is hosting the CAPSLO Homeless Shelter Overflow - if you want to help, call John at (805) 440-five-six-to-to.
