Thanks, I've been meaning to follow up with you, and hopefully add you
to the friends mailing list so you can be more involved ;-)

I don't know this for sure, but I think we could put together another
order to be delivered before March 16th if we can organize a meeting
so people can share ideas and plan to split cases, etc...

There is just a 5% markup for the buying club, compared to the old WZ
co-op which marked things up at least 35% and then applied a discount
for members... Or Wild Oats, which marks things up around 45% and
will give you a 10% discount on case orders.

For sure. Let me add you to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list,
(in digest -only mode to minimize the email you get), so you can keep
track of the progress. (I've recently changed most people on the list
to digest-only mode to minimize inbox clutter.)
Anyway, someone has to volunteer to organize a meeting so we can put
together an order more quickly. Leigh and I were talking about this
last Friday when I was helping her put together the current order,
(which should be delivered today, or sometime this week). If you have
time to help, that would be great... (Karinn and Megan were just
working on a flier to start posting around town yesterday... :-)
Btw, do you have a deadline when your next best option to get the cups
expires? (Ie. How much time is required elsewhere to get them?)
Thanks,
