Hello, FUUSM Friends!

*International Coffee Day! It's a real thing!!* (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.

Hoping to see you this afternoon,

Adeline
