Well, the time has come everyone! The 2020 OFC Calendar is off to press. So now comes the time to place your orders. But before that, I have to make an announcement:


After much reflection, I feel that this will have to be the last of my calendar projects. I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and the creative process over the last many years, but find my time becoming too limited and my middle-aged mind running out of creative ideas for layout and themes. As such, I hope to see another OFC’er pick up the torch going forward. So before I even begin with how to order, please let me express my sincere gratitude for all of the support and comments over the last 8 years’ worth of layout and research. All of you are a worthy bunch and fit handily into the group I like to call “good people’!

Thank you all. Thank you most kindly!



Now, on to the details


The cost for the calendars in the continental United States will be $25. This includes the calendar, shipping fees, and Paypal fees with the exception regarding international shipping detailed immediately below.

 

Many of our overseas members have inquire each year about shipping, but I can only provide a ballpark figure based on the U.S. Postal Service website. From what I can tell, shipping to Europe and Australia will run about $13 extra to send it via First Class mail. Of course, I can try to combine orders and ship for those who can easily get them around to each other.  


This is important! 

The spreadsheet I use to track everything is sorted by your OFC user name. Please be certain to include it in however you contact me so I can keep records straight. This is especially important if you communicate via email.


Payments can be made via Paypal to:
ofc-calendar@patchworkmcg.com


I would prefer not to post my mailing address on an open internet forum. So if you prefer to send a check or money order, please contact me via email and let me know. Email is best; as last year I could not empty my PM box fast enough to keep up with the orders. My email is the same as the Paypal address.

It goes without saying that if you are paying via snail mail, the sooner you send the check, the better.


And oh yes…..Be certain to include your shipping address when you order!

 

(You would be amazed how often people forget that last part.)

Thank you again everyone for all of your help.

As usual, you folks own some darn nice guitars!

All good things must end. Being a relative newbie here, I will only have four in my collection, but it's better to have calendared four times than to have never calendared at all. Thank you, Patch, for everything you have worked so hard to make so nice for the rest of us!

" about $13 extra to send it via First Class mail" so I sent about 38 USD, same procedure as last year? Same procedure as EVERY year.
Thank you in advance for your endavors, I cherish the OFC calendars.

Well it's time for my annual panic attack. The calendars will be ready anytime, but I am well short of the total project cost. 

So first, and most importantly, let me sincerely thank those who have already ordered. 

Now I have two requests: 1) If you haven't ordered, please do so soon.

And 2), would someone be so kind as to post about the calendar on the Facebook page and send them here to order? I meant to ask on day 1, as I have no Facebook presence.

Thanks again everyone! I hope you like the result this year.

Thanks guys. We've sold enough to cover the printing. Now I need to move some more to cover all the shipping.

Anyone else need Christmas gifts?

Pay attention, Folks.... It will be 2020 soon, and you won't have a calendar.

This one is running-out. Get a new one, NOW!

The calendars are ready, but I can't go get them until later this week. Hopefully they all get where they are going for Christmas.

Who else would like one...or two....or three....?

I've been super busy and haven't had a chance to post, but all orders as of today have been shipped. Let me know if any go missing or get damaged.

There are plenty left if anyone else wants one....or some.

Hi Patch

Boy did I drop the ball. Been off the website for a while (I had a total ankle replacement and I've been out of sorts for the past two months) and forgot about the Calendars.

If you have enough left I will take 4. One for me and three for gifts that I will hand out and one that I will mail to Oz.

My bad for being so late so don't fret it if it's too late for them to come with Santa down the Chimney.

I will go on PayPal and send payment before the end of the day.

Thanks for all the wonderful years of great calendars.

Jim

I see all of these people have received their calendars...
So I scurry downstairs to check my Mailbox, and there it was.

Looks good. Similar to MIB, I don't look thru mine....
I want to be surprised every Month.

Dan, I  forgot to message you.  I put your extras in there by mistake. But once I realized it, I  sent duplicates to your siblings later that day, so don't worry about that.  My screw up, my apologies. Feel free to hand out the others as you please.

Wow Patch

That was fast. You must not have been very naughty to get Santa to deliver these so fast.

Thanks you so much!

The calendar is beautiful as always, though it's hard to fully appreciate it looking through one eye.

Is that you on the porch of the Christmas Story house?

Merry Christmas

Wow! They must have shipped the German ones the long way around. They went in the mail with any others to Europe, and the French ones got there by Dec. 23rd!
