Default Where to buy all silk screen supplies?

Dear all:

I am up for a project to print my own T-shirt for my church for a budget. My target price is $8 for a shirt and I would have at least 3 colors printed for the shirt. Therefore I have a $480 budget tax included

I want to know, for 60 shirts, can I save for doing my own silk screen print on these shirt if time/labor were not taken into account?

I have search many silk screening instruction website, pretty much understood the whole process but now need to find ways to buy all supply that I need for silk screen, I have to compute the cost before making this decision.

I want to know where to get the following material:

Silk Screen fabric - what type to use (thread count, etc..)

Blank color T-shirt at a good price

Photo emulsion

T-shirt paint that last on the T-shirt

I am located in San Diego, searched a little bit but the local art store doesn't seem to carry what I want. It would be great if you can point me to specific sources where you all usually shop for these supplies. Thank you very much in advance. I am open to all ideas.
