I'll be asking for more people who'd like to kick in $$ for Club Mate at the meeting on Tuesday. I have to tell the 2600 folks pretty soon, whether we want the pallet (800 bottles for $2657.20 -- to potentially raise $500 for Noisebridge). In the meantime, if you would like to kick in a loan for helping with this project (any amount is cool!), please add your name to the wiki:<BR>
