Each member could submit a monthly entry, of his or her Luger Presentaion, and each member could submit one entry per month, The sales of which could got to support this wonderful site? It would not only be fun but will help defray some of your expenses, Pretty Please!

Eric, sounds like a good idea. The problem is, someone has to post the pictures, judge the picture (or just decide they like "this" one).

Then gather them and have them professionally printed. My sister did this for her home town, to make it worthwhile, they had to produce a 1,000 calenders and even then they were $15 a piece and not slick paper.

I actually know of two members that have done this, here on the 2 luger boards over the years and they both lost money in the deal...

So, not to sound defeatist, but its a lot of work and whomever funds it will likely loose money...

..how about a coffee mug instead?
Then we eliminate the problem Ed mention, that someone would have to pick out the 12 best pictures.

I checked the price at the photo store I use, each mug costs $14. With a resale at $20 the forum could potentially get some income out of it.

I searched around some more and found this one http://www.fotoknudsen.no/photogifts...x=2&giftprod=5
It's a 'magic' cup where the picture only gets visible once hot liquid is added into it. Kinda neat

Perhaps write "time to log into Lugerforum.com" + the logo? (no idea if it works, it's just a thought)
