<div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000">Dear Class,<br><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I hope you all are doing well. I'm writing to provide an update regarding, as you've likely heard, modifications and ordering for our track jackets. Please note that the current order form is not in effect. Should there be changes to the current plan (adidas jackets with 2015 logo on back), any orders that have been placed will be disregarded (no charges to techcash have been made) and a new order form will be sent out after we receive everyone's input.</span><br>
<font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">This year, myself and your council tried to cut costs by working with a new vendor (the COOP), who also provided us with the rare opportunity of ordering Adidas "classic" track jackets, at a significantly discounted price (MSRP $65 down to $27). We adopted their recommendation, but in retrospect realize it would be best to consult all of the 2015s. I understand that many of us were excitedly looking forward to the Charles River brand jackets that we've all seen 2013's and 2014's wearing (MSRP $49.90), and would prefer that our class order those instead.</span><br>

The expected subsidization is $5/jacket, as the sweatshirts had been.)
