Membership drive extended. #coffeeparty
Due to Hundreds Joining at Once, Our Donation Site Has Been Crashing!
Mon, 02/28/2011 - 9:09pm - AnnabelPark
Dear Coffee Partier,
An extraordinary thing happened today.
We sent out an email at 4pm ET reminding people who have not already joined that today was the last day to become a Founding Member of the Coffee Party.
Hundreds of people started joining at once and our payment site has been crashing!
We apologize for the inconvenience if you've had difficulties or have been unable to contribute. The problem seems to come and go depending on how much traffic we get on the page. To avoid the overload, we are extending the Founding Members drive until midnight Hawaiian time March 3, 2011, which is 5 AM eastern time March 4, 2011.
We are currently working with our service provider to fix the problem so that you don't continue to have this problem.
The great news is that despite the service interruptions, we blew past our goal of reaching $50,000 and we are now nearing $70,000.
Starting tomorrow, please click here and make a contribution of $10 or more to receive a personalized Founding Member card and a Coffee Party bumper sticker.
Thank you all for being part of this movement! We are truly excited about 2011.
-Annabel, Eric, Sabina, David and the Coffee Party National Team
