For all you coffee drinkers (those of you who live in my town, that is), have I got a deal for you!
We're launching our
Coffee Fundraiser to help offset the costs associated with
Imagine Adoption's restructuring. Most of you already know that our adoption agency went bankrupt in July 2009, and although we are thrilled to report that the agency is being restructured and will soon resume normal operations, it's going to take a bit more money from us.
Since legend has it that coffee beans were first consumed by a
frisky herd of Ethiopian goats, it just seems logical to use coffee to help our Ethiopian adoption efforts.
Here's the scoop:We're pleased to offer six varieties of freshly roasted organic, fair trade coffee, and two varieties of organic, fair trade hot chocolate mix. I'll be working with
Equator Coffee, which is located in Almonte, Ontario. It's pretty cool -- the guys from this Canadian company actually
package and ship the coffee within 48 hours of it being locally roasted. If you want fresh coffee... baby, this is the coffee for you.
