Bingo. The party sounds great, but this would be such a great step. I have brought forming a buying co-op to this group with favorable feedback, but it is such a big task. The co-op would need a formal organization (IPP?) with dedicated and paid staff. Don has put a lot of time and energy into IPP, but he also has to make a living just like the rest of the Wrenches.
