Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
<br>
At the end of July me and a few other Noisebridge members paid for 800 bottles of Club Mate for Noisebridge -- as a fund raiser. <br>
<br>
<br>
It seems that the Club Mate are very popular! Only 200-some of them are left. <br>
<br>
<br>
Thing is, though, we haven't even collected half the money we (me and the other NB members) spent for the 800 bottles of Club Mate. And there's only 200-some of them left. Doing just a little bit of math: if everyone pays the required $4 for the remaining 200-some bottles that they drink, then we still won't nearly enough to pay me and the other NB members back for the expense we laid out.<br>
<br>
<br>
Please: if you drink any Mate, then pay at least $4 for it. We (me and some other NB members) paid $3.31 per bottle for this stuff (mostly shipping). It would be nice to get at least a majority of this back so we don't lose so much.<br>
<br>
<br>
Up until this, we've about tripled our money for other beverages at Noisebridge. I was hoping that Noisebridge would make aobut 70˘ per bottle on the Club Mate. I guess we failed at that.<br>
<br>
<br>
Mitch.<br>
