Reno Ski & Recreation Club

Ski Club Logo clothing and paraphernalia ............

We now have the option to purchase clothing with our Reno Ski and
Recreation Club logo stitched on it. Our logo has been set up at North
American Embroidery, located at 435 Kietzke Lane in Reno. They have
some clothing available in the shop, but there are 2 catalogs full of
items to choose from. This includes jackets, vests, shirts, hats and
other items in a variety of styles and colors for men, women, and
children. If you purchase the clothing from North American Embroidery,
then there is no additional charge to have the logo stitched on. If you
prefer to bring in clothing that you already own, then the charge to add
the logo is approximately $8. You can also add your name for an
additional $5. It will be a fun way to promote our club, and these will
make great gift items, too.
