Apparel can be ordered online at the link below once the event is approved, and the sale will last for approximately two weeks (ideally the last week of October and the first week of November). Once the sale has run for two weeks, the company will need approximately 2 weeks to fill the orders, and then the orders will be sent out. Orders can be directly shipped to those that place them, or there will be a group pick up option. For the group pick-up, people place their order online and then pick it up in the LECOM cafeteria a later date designated by the club. To do this, Sew Much More will drop off the group pick-up orders to the club's president, Sarah Centore, for the people that selected group pick-up. Sarah will then bring these orders into the school on a designated day after the orders have been given to us, and the club will distribute the remainder of the orders in the cafeteria. The group pick-up allows a more cost effective option for members who do not want to pay for shipping. The contact person from Sew Much More is Jody Centore.
