Good luck with this :D I'm hoping to be your 1st Assistant and official Beverage Coordinator throughout.

Good luck, Melina! It's a great idea, wishing you success.

Good ideas like yours that are not in the Top 100 are nearly impossible to find. This is unfair as many great ideas are hidden. Those of us in the “Sub-100” should work together to promote the best projects of the Sub-100 so that they can be in the Top 100 and be seen. Please vote for best Sub-100s!

Good luck!
