TC Celebrates Reaching the 500 Member Mark!
At exactly 1pm - PST, August 12, 2008 the 500th member of TC joined the cafe and we're just getting started. The cafe has members from The US, Mexico, Great Britain, France, Germany, Malaysia, New Zealand, Turkey, Australia, Canada, Alaska and Hawaii!!
Keep inviting recipients, close friends and family and of course donors, donor families and those who work in the field of transplantation. Soon we'll make the cafe the place to be for everyone touched by transplantation.

I hope to try to get my chief medicine man to join.
If each of the 500 only brings in one new member, we'll have 1,000 members in no time!

Thank you Jeffrey. I am excited about the potential the site has to spread the word even more. Just a matter of creativity.
As to the coffee.. Lets see if the cafe receives a grant, then we'll discuss :)
