T-shirts for sale! Buy now!

Another fund-raising initiative for the trip will be T-shirt sales. We are starting with these two designs, courtesy of Tammy Wong from Rainbow Chinese restaurant.  We sold a bunch at our planning meeting, and more have now been made. Order now!

The Year of the Tiger shirt (shown in mens' style) red with image of leaping tiger can be ordered in both men's and women's styles (S,M,L in each).

 The Year of the Rabbit shirt also comes in mens and women's styles, and is brown with a pink design.

Each T-shirt sells for $15.00 and can be ordered in both men and women styles, in 3 sizes (small, medium, and large).

Name this blog!

This summer, a group of students from South High in Minneapolis will travel to China with their Mandarin language teacher and a parent chaperone for a month of learning and fun. So far, sixteen students are able to go. With the help of their families and friends, they will be raising money they hope to raise enough money so that two more students can join the group.

My daughter is one of the students, and I'm not able to join the group as a chaperone. So  this blog will be a way for all of us---families, friends, and the travelers--- to exchange information about fundraising, to learn more about China together, to dream about the destinations, and to share pictures, stories, and video from the trip.
Since the school's mascot is the tiger, I've named this blog  Tigers on the Road--for now! Maybe someone else has ideas for a better name? If you do, leave a comment. If we get some suggestions, we can open up a poll to vote for the name everyone likes the best.
