Limited Edition Commodores Club Columbia Womens fleece vest (Limited to 500'ish)

Why "500'ish?"  Let's be honest, we are a fledging organization and I am a  volunteer.  So, this stuff is done on my free time (not that it shows) and since I am quite fond of family, food, and shelter, I must work a "real" job.  That means instead of a strict limit of 500, when I log in to Shopify after we've received over 500 designated donations, I will discontinue further designated donations.  

Below is the ad copy I tried to write for this thing, but let's be real.  This is a gift of appreciation from us at Seraphim International towards those of you willing to make such a major donation towards the completion of Seraphim.  We will even send  a donation receipt for tax purposes(if you're into that sort of thing, no judgement here).  Besides getting a vest, you will also become a member of the Commodores Club. 

Plus. I solemnly swear that if you want that receipt, I will have it etched into an offcut of aluminum from the construction of MVS Seraphim, mount it on a plaque and ship it to you.  Provided I can convince the boatyard supervisor that it is safe to me trust around the boat with an etching tool, I will also etch your name onto the boat's hull somewhere.  If there are headlines later about the Seraphim sinking at her slip while nearing completion, I will loudly and repeatedly assure people that an etching tool absolutely had nothing to do with it thus providing you plausible deniability.

Anyway, here is that prior ad copy I mentioned.         

"Welcome to the Commodores Club, our club for donors willing to make big things happen! All net proceeds will go towards funding Seraphim International's mission to provide uplifting capacity-building to rural coastal communities via "train the trainer" programs in community medicine, sanitation, health education and disaster preparedness and mitigation. Purchasing this vest is not just about furthering our mission and being the proud owner of this soft Women’s Columbia fleece vest. In addition, you will gain access to the events and other perks saved for our VIP's."

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
