Our T-shirt design contest is over, and the winning entry is……

DA shirt…the Deathly Hallows and Anteater design by Maranda!

The design will be printed in white ink on a dark heather gray shirt. If you’d like to buy one, let club leadership know by emailing dumbledoresanteaters@gmail.com with your name, cut (unisex or women’s), and size (S, M, L, XL). They’ll cost no more than $10 each (exact price TBD) and will be available for pick-up starting tenth week.
