Coffee Club
The coffee club is (about to be) a newly formed GSA club to alleviate department-wide caffeine withdrawal. We are founded by the GSA and run by the GSA. The current steward of the account is Mark Roberts.
***Anyone can join*** The GSA simply runs the project, but anybody can pitch in :-)
JOIN US FOR OUR FOUNDING MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
The club is currently accepting cash donations for admission to the inner circle with a suggested donation of $5. Our NEW All-time Record for most money contributed has been broken. See the Wiki at for details.
We will convene in by Urnie on Monday February 5, 10:30am to determine how to setup the ongoing coffee membership dues; we expect that it will be a quarterly membership based on expected costs. Come with your ideas!
If you are not a member, please feel free to enjoy the coffee; we only ask that you pay around 25 cents per cup so that we can cover the cost of the coffee grounds. Place your contribution in the blue cup behind Urnie. Thanks!!
Our Beloved Urnie!
Urnie's Baristas
Our beloved Urnie will need some volunteers to start coffee each morning and afternoon. We would like to see two baristas for each morning and one for the afternoon. It should take about 10 minutes to clean up the area and make the coffee. Let the current steward know if you are interested in providing this needed service. If you are signed up as a barista and need to change your shift, it is your responsibility to locate a replacement and inform the steward.

Current Balance
This page maintains the current price per cup and the list of donors. We may occasionally post a hall of blame for those members who are actually so addicted to caffeine that they forked out personal funds to ensure they could drink from the ever-flowing urn. Seriously, though, we appreciate donations of coffee, tea, money, time. Please take donations or questions to the current steward.
Our Current Balance is currently $96.26 - Urnie is brewing HOT COFFEE, mmmmmm..
