Subject: [vox] Fund-raiser possibility at Dos Coyotes 


I was at Dos Coyotes in South Davis last night and they had a pamphlet 
regarding using Dos for fund-raising. It's similar to what Ben & Jerry's 
does (did?) with ice cream -- we did it once as a benefit to the EFF, years 
ago. 

It works like this: you sign up to run a fund-raiser. 10% of each purchase 
made during the fund-raiser goes to your organization. If I recall, they only 
do it on Mondays and Tuesdays -- which is perfect: we hold our social gatherings 
on Tuesdays. 

So here's my idea. Sign up for a fund-raiser with Dos, to occur during one 
of our social gathering meetings. Have the social at Dos (instead of Crepeville). 
Everyone who attends the meeting tells the Dos staff that they're there for the 
LUGOD fund-raiser, and we get a cut of the proceeds. (This benefits Dos because 
they get that much more traffic.) 

What do people think? Can you stand burritos and tacos instead of crepes, 
now and then? I believe Dos has free wi-fi these days, and the Dos in south 
Davis is near Office Max (for geeking out) and Common Grounds (for caffinating), 
which also has free wi-fi. Davis Creamer (ice cream shop) is also right there 
(for dessert'ing).
