LET’S START A COFFEE CLUB
Birds and Bean coffee is shade grown, fair trade, and organic. It provides the best habitat for migrating birds available and supports people who work the land. It will provide Orange County Audubon with some income and you with a great cup of coffee. Delivery to your doorstep or my doorstep is eight dollars regardless of the quantity ordered. I am already ordering for myself and my daughter mid month. Delivery takes a little more than a week. If you are interested give me a call 845-744-6047 or an email lbarber7@juno.com with your order. I hope you will pick up your coffee and reimburse me but ultimately I hope you will start your own local coffee club. I can initially bring your order to the monthly meeting or your house. Fourteen more people would bring the delivery charge down to fifty cents an order. Let’s try. Have a coffee party for your friends.
