On behalf of the IGO Board of Directors, I'm happy to announce that we have some new items in our online store - and they're really nice! We have two different types of baseball caps, in a variety of colors, a sweet outback hat, and a bandana - all emblazened with the IGO logo in embroidery! What better way to show your pride in our organization than to wear our logo when you're out geocaching and attending events! The link to the store is to the left, under "Primary Links - Organization Info - IGO Merchandise." Keep reading to learn about a special offer!
