In general, I personally do want to increase the availability of TM'd
goods ... my concerns is making sure that the NPO stays in the clear.
For instance the person who helped with some of the IRS forms has
mentioned that soliciting donations or selling goods in-the-flesh can
cause the NPO to somehow register/report/etc with the local government
for taxation purposes or something to that effect. It's still a fuzzy
concept to me. What and how to go about this ... well, idunno.
As for the vendor to supply goods, yes -- CafePress is limiting as
they're only in the US & UK. A while back for the University of
Camerino, Barrett ordered 2~3 shirts and ended up spending something
absurd like €100 ($125) due to shipping and import taxes. .. So,
alternatives are definitely needed.
IIRC, RMLL is early July
