#needalift

We’ve visited community gardens, bus stops, even Costco, surprising people who #needalift but it all started at our Main Street Coffee House. People regularly check-in to our Main Street Coffee House on Foursquare and we wanted to reward them for staying active online. If you’re a Foursquare Newbie, check-in to any of our coffee houses for a surprise!

Fair Trade Vancouver Meet-Up | November 23 2011

In 1977, the Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera Pangoa began a 50-member grassroots movement that has been vital to the region’s development. A model of Fair Trade business, and a certified organic coffee producer located in San Martín de Pangoa, Peru, their 207 members cultivate shade-grown coffee on the slopes rising from the lowland jungle to the highlands in the region of Junín.

Tomorrow evening, we are very pleased to host a Fair Trade Vancouver Meet-Up where the C.A.C Pangoa manager, Esperanza Dionisio Castillo will speak about how the Fair Trade model benefits the livelihoods of small-scale farmers in the co-op. If you’re interested in coming, RSVP to Fair Trade Vancouver’s Meet-Up invite.

The event is tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at our Main Street coffee house. We hope to see you there!
