T-Shirts

Former WCPCA president and long-time member James Cloutier created the logo for the WCPCA's celebration of Peace Corps 50 in Eugene. The first printing of the t-shirts featuring that logo were nearly sold out on March 1. There was a second and even a third printing, but they have all been sold.
