A date has been set, our guests of honor have been booked, and everyone is cordially invited to this year's Fair Trade Bash.

The keynote speaker is Chris Treter of HIgher Grounds, a coffee company based in Michigan that is "fueled by its social mission and driven by a passion for sourcing the highest quality coffees from around the world."

Higher Grounds has a fierce connection to Fair Trade coffee; not to mention they partner with farmers to make an outstanding blend or five (that I've tasted).

You can have the joy of listening to the music of local singer-songwriter Dan Pechacek!

This bash also features a coffee cupping, a fashion show, lots of vendors with wares to sell (for special prices), raffles, and lots of information for your brains!

Date: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 Time: 6:00pm - 9:00pm Location: 117B and 117C, MSU International Center
We look forward to chatting with you all!
 
 

Hello All,
If you haven't seen the posters up, this is a reminder that the Fair Trade Bash is this Tuesday, March 31st, from 6 - 9  pm at the Spartan Room on the first floor of MSU's International Center building.  There are going to be some enlightening presentations by esteemed fair traders:

   Jan Easley of Esperanza en Acción
   Professor Paulette Stenzel of MSU: International Business Law in the Department of Finance at the Broad School
   Professor Rick Bersten of MSU: Production Economics and   International Development.

The event is co-sponsored by MSU Coffee Club, Students for Peace and Justice, and Sparty's (who provide Fair Trade Coffee and treats all over campus).

 
 

Everybody, this is our big event.  Members from all around the community will gather in Michigan State University's Student Union building to celebrate fair trade, community unity, and listen to our guest speakers present and inform about fair trade.  If you are new to fair trade and just want to learn about it, or if you have been involved in fair trade groups for years, this is a great opportunity to learn and get involved.

Flier
