Dear Coffee Queen, Betsy plans to come at 1 pm and probably will by all the Silver Bridge, but she has to look at it. Thank you for your efforts as always.

<p>Hello, FUUSM Friends!</p>
<p><b>International Coffee Day! It's a real thing!!</b> (Mr. Google
showed it to me on a calendar of events.) To celebrate, the coffee
sales team will be in the courtyard from 1:00 - 3:00 pm to offer
for sale the remainder of the FUUSM coffee supply at rock-bottom
prices! We'd love to sell the entire inventory today: 11 packs of
Silver Bridge (1 whole bean regular Breakfast Blend; 10 packs of
regular ground in a variety of flavors) and maybe a dozen packs of
Equal Exchange ground decaf. <br>
</p>
<p>Hoping to see you this afternoon,</p>
<p>Adeline<br>

Day

<p align="CENTER"> </p>
<p align="LEFT"><b>Date When Celebrated :</b> Always October 1 st </p>
<p>Coffee Day and National Coffee Day - Up until now, dates have
varied widely across dozens or more countries. International
Coffee
Day replaces these prior events. </p>
<p>Today is <i>International Coffee Day</i>. This day celebrates
one
of the world's favorite hot beverages, which is enjoyed and
celebrated around the world. Call it what you like: coffee, Java,
cup
of Joe, or any of dozens of names. Billions of people around the
world drink billions of cups of coffee on a daily basis. </p>
<p>Can't wake up and be alert without your fist cup of coffee?
You're
not alone. It is estimated that 88.8 gallons of coffee is consumed
annually per capita. This author suspect he consumes a whole lot
more
than average. How about you!? </p>
<p><b>Did You Know?</b> On a per capita consumption basis, you may
be
surprised to know the U.S. is not the top coffee drinking country,
not even close. Depending upon what survey you read, the U.S.
ranks
between 22 -25. Who is the top coffee consuming country? Finland.
</p>
<p><b>Origin of International Coffee Day - Eliminating the Confusion</b>
</p>
<p>At meeting on March 3-7, 2014, the International Coffee
Organization (ICO) created International Coffee Day, and
established
October 1 as the date to celebrate coffee around the world. The
first
International Coffee Day was held on October 1, 2015. This allows
people and countries around the world to celebrate coffee on the
same
day. </p>
