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

International Coffee Day
