The recent tragedy in Haiti touched all of us in some way. In response to our feeling that we needed to do something the gang at the shop decided to donate one day's worth of tips to the World Mission Relief Fund. The benefit of this charity is that one hundred percent of the donated funds go to the the cause. The response we got was overwhelming. Many customers made their donation a family event, encouraging their children to donate along with them.
It was truly touching to see that even a small coffee shop in Brookfield could give something to a community that has lost everything. I truly feel that this is the spirit that TCP has always embodied and I look forward to future events where we can all join to give back. To that end, parents of Hillside elementary students have the opportunity to help us donate money to the annual Hawk Walk. Parents have the opportunity to get a punch card that donates .50 of every drink purchase to the walk. There is no limit to the number of cards.
On a lighter note Jenna has arrived safely in sunny Florida and we are looking forward to updates and pictures.
Many thanks for your generous donations,
Java Diva
