"Bachelorette party for my friend, Kyla. It was April 11 at a club in downtown Charleston, SC. The shirts say "Kyla's Last Night on the Town" on the front and "So Buy Us a Round" on the back. They totally worked - we barely paid for our own drinks! CustomInk did a great job and we were really pleased with the product."

"The photo is of myself, my fiance and some of my bridesmaids after the Crescent City Classic road race in New Orleans, LA on April 11, 2009. There was a contest for New Orleans brides - the winning bride won a prize package...the winner was definitely NOT me but we had SO much fun and we decided that we want to do the race every year from here on out and we want to make new Tshirts for the race every year also! I am proud to say that I did jog the entire race - 10K!!! Thanks CustomInk!!!"

"Members of the DRAMA 3 & 4 class at Colonial Forge High rocked their t-shirts on the day of their Hamlet performance! Each year we do a Shakespeare show which is directed by a student. This year we did Hamlet AND Taming of the Shrew! CustomInk really did help us make the shirts customized- and as always they turned out GREAT!"

"Our Intramural team, The Legends, loves our new shirts and wear them to every softball match. We get comments from umpires and opposing teams about the great shirts. They were well worth the cost, and the team has bonded even more since sharing the new intimidating logo. Service was simple and the shirt arrived before scheduled, allowing me to surprise the team early. I'm ordering all future shirts through customink.com"

"The Living Village is composed of six houses. Our house is called "Juniper". The word house is intentionally used because it connotes a warm, intimate family setting (the word dormitory describes a more institutional setting). Each house is designed to accommodate up to sixteen students (eight males, eight females) in two separate sleeping quarters. In addition to the sleeping quarters, each house has a common room, a laundry room, and a small workroom which all residents are welcome to use. A student¹s immediate living area (with bed, desk, and wardrobe) has a tackable surface and a bulletin board for personal posters and pictures. All houses have wireless internet access and at least two computers for student use. Houseparents live in apartments attached to each house.
The culture of each house varies according to the personalities of the houseparent(s) and students; however, members of each house strive to create a family atmosphere in which students feel safe, emotionally nourished and comfortable sharing the issues they encounter throughout the day. The family atmosphere is enhanced because students work together on house chores, cooking special meals (otherwise students eat in the Lodge), house activities, house meetings, house retreats, and intramurals. Students have ongoing conversations, both formal and casual, with their houseparent(s) and peers. Within each house there are opportunities to learn from different cultures and experiences. Houseparents, all of whom are Eagle Rock staff, have a variety of responsibilities. These include the following:
* Provide guidance to students within the house using 8 + 5 = 10 as a foundation.
* Maintain contact with students families.
* Provide daily opportunities for students to check-in.
* Create an atmosphere that encourages student voice and shared decision- making.
* Coordinate an adult support team, consisting of 4 to 6 ERS colleagues.
Residential life increases the capacity of staff and students to form close relationships with each other. These relationships help students attend to dynamics that can enhance personal and academic growth. The residential setting offers a safe communal environment for developing life skills and communication skills, working in teams, developing mediation and conflict resolution skills, and understanding different cultures. It also provides many opportunities for leadership. All of this is within the context of the ERS value system of 8 + 5 = 10."

"This photo of Step About Boston (Boston University's only Irish step dancing group) was taken in Boston on April 10, 2009 at the group's annual Irish step dancing ceili. We hold the event each year to celebrate the art of Irish dance. This year more than 100 people attended, watched us perform some original choreography and then joined us in come traditional dances. CustomInk was the perfect choice for our order because we designed our own logo and the site made it easy to put it on our shirts and create a professional but unique uniform. The staff was courteous, thorough and a pleasure to work with."

"Our Assumption High School Science Olympiad team wanted a new shirt so that we looked professional at the regional competition. As a group, we designed our shirts on CustomInk.com because it was so easy and the prices were reasonable. We went to the competition on March 21 and everyone was impressed by our shirts. We came in 5th and now we are moving on to the state competition! Pictured is a selection of our team and our iguana, Iggy Godzilla."

"This picture was taken in front of our weight room right after I received the T-Shirts. We (the coaches, flanking each side of the picture) are resurrecting the football program at our home town high school. We took 10 rookies last year to the section playoffs after the school failed to field a team last year. We hope that a spring training and weight lifting program will help generate interest and support. We are located in Boonville California, a town of around 1,000 people. Our experience with Custom Ink was great, the t-shirts turned out better than I hoped and looked exactly as they appeared in the on-line lab. Thanks and we will be going through your company again in the future."
