Unable to invoke Meteor.call from Client in MeteorJS?

Using meteor 0.5.7 - following the Parties example - made client, server folders, and placed respective client.js and server.js files in them. I have autopublish, insecure removed, and added email package. I can't get the Meteor.call to fire off, debugging shows that it gets bypassed, I'm loosely following this - http://goo.gl/MV26m - and I still don't understand. 

// server.js
Meteor.startup(function () {
  process.env.MAIL_URL = '...'; // using mailgun URL
});

Meteor.methods({
   call_me: function (options) {
     var options = options || {};
     Email.send({
      from: options.from,
      to: options.to,
      replyTo: options.from || undefined,
      subject: options.subj,
      text: options.msg,
     });
   },
});

// client.js
Template.form.events({
 'click .submit' : function (event, template) {
   var from = template.find("#from").value;
   var to = template.find("#to").value;
   var subj = template.find("#subj").value;
   var msg = template.find("#msg").value;
   var options = { from: from, to: to, subj: subj, msg:msg };

   Meteor.call('call_me', options, function(err, data) {
    if (err)
     console.log(err);
   });
 }
});

// client.html - the gist of it
<body>
  {{> page }}
</body>
<template name="page">
  {{> form }}
</template>
<template name="form">
  <form ....
</template>

Lastly, I actually had the Meteor.methods({...}); sitting in a model.js file outside the client/server folders - and it still didn't fire off emails, or invoke the Meteor.call method. I'm kinda trying to wrap my head around the notion of a stub in the aforementioned attached link, wrapped the call within a function and called it, and I still didn't get any activity. Thanks for any advice.

Tried your gist. Removing the <form> tag and commenting out Process.env.MAIL_URL did it. The <form> tag is blocking the event trigger to button click.
