MSU Students for Fair Trade

On Sunday MSU Students for Fair Trade will be chalking all around campus, spreading information about us, Fair Trade, and general awareness.  If you are interested in helping, or just have extra chalk!, let us know.  Walk with us, talk with us, chalk with us.

Sunday, Oct 12, 5:30 pmMeet in front of the Student Union Building, campus side.
(the third step of the west side more specifically ^_^;)
Hope for nice weather

This Tuesday we'll be meeting at Espresso Royale for Fair Trade Coffee Night.  We are just going to be discussing Fair Trade for new comers, and exactly what our group's goals are, how people can help and get involved etc.  So if you are curious about fair trade or are considering joining our group, linking with our group, helping to organize the community IN ANY WAY, please do show up.  Guests please arrive around 6:30.  We will be having our normal meeting at 5:30 before the event, at Espresso Royale, not Kirabo.  Also, Espresso Royale has some good coffee, and make sure you buy it Fair Trade!

For all those interested in traveling, the 2nd annual Fair Trade Expo is coming up in October, Fair Trade Month, so I will post some information courtesy of The Fair Trade Resource Network

     
Event:

Fair Trade Expo
Wednesday, October 22, 2008, 10:00 am - 2:00 pm 108 million people in the U.S. drank coffee yesterday. Americans pay an average of $4-$11 for a pound of coffee while the growers receive around $.80 per pound. Learn how fair trade can address this issue at the 2nd annual Fair Trade Expo. Local agencies and organizations specializing in fair trade will be on hand to talk about how they support fair trade and will also have products available for purchase. Snacks and fair trade goodie bags will be provided (while supplies last!). For more information contact Erin Quiring, equiring@iupui.edu *Co-sponsored by Students for Fair Trade
