Dominican Coffee Farmer in Town -- Oct 22

Saturday, October 22
Noon -- 2:00 pm
Rockin K' Cafe
(across from CVS, aka Bogart's)

This is a chance to meet Maria, a coffee farmer from the Dominican Republic, to hear about the benefits of Fair Trade first-hand.

Of course, you will also be able to enjoy some fair-trade coffee, and snacks will also be served. After the event, Social Justice League students will take Maria around the BSU campus, to show her where fair-trade products are served.

This event is free and open to the public, but donations are welcome.

Look for this sign!

If you see this sign at any BSU event, you can rest assured knowing that you are drinking Fair Trade coffee!
