[GeekDinner-planning] Request for wine sponsorship: Draft document

[Joey da Silva]

Hi Joe

Thanks - aware of the model and think RC might be an option - albeit, not as
swanky as the usual suggestions. I will test their willingness when I meet
with them about the Facebook garage so that there are some more options for
dinner post Novembers.

Along those lines - might Frogfoot be willing to sponsor some wifi at the
Facebook garage evening of October 30th 18h30 through 22h30 to be held at
the RC?

Cheers,
Joey
