• Schwag - MaxSpevack
• "We received a response from Brandfuel our CoolStuff Store vendor,
• basically their response to the international shipping costs was
• 'we know it's high, we feel your pain, but there's nothing we can do'
• so this makes Jack's event kit initiative even more important"
• Project Reports
