Update #3: We're Almost Ready!
Friends, Family, Comrades:
We're almost ready. We've got our oven, thanks to your generosity and support, and we are planning a grand opening on January 28th. If you're in Milwaukee, please stop by to sample a wide variety of delicious treats and hear some local musicians on that day.
I bet you're wondering, where the heck are my treats and t shirts? Your treats will be ready to ship and pick up at the beginning of next week. We'll send you one more message with the specifics on Monday, don't you worry.
We ran into some trouble with t shirts, but we are working it out. We will get them printed as soon we possibly can, and will keep you posted on our progress.
We apologize for the delay; we don't want you to go un-rewarded! We really appreciate your support!
Love,
BG4C

Update #1: Hey folks!
Thank you so much for the outpouring of support in the Week 1 everybody! We're nearly a third of the way there, with 2 weeks left for our project. Jessica and all of us here at Brewing Grounds can't wait until we reach $3,000 and can give you all of the fun gifts we're working on right now. OH, and have we got awesome news for this week! Your pals at Brewing Grounds have decided to venture into Cookie-land with Jessica and she brought us our first batch of Espresso Bean Chocolate Chip Vegan Cookies! mmm! We also have plenty of cupcakes from her delivery yesterday evening. Flavors are Chocolate Cherry and Vanilla Bean right now so hurry up and get your post-Sweetest Day sweets! And the last bit of breaking news from this week is that Monday-Friday we're now gonna be open at 8:00am for all the folks who get up early and need that caffeine or sweet tooth fix! Stop by and say hello to Dave before 11:00am sometime this week so we know it's worth opening up early during the week!

Brewing Grounds is a collectively owned coffee shop on Milwaukee's east side. Dedicated to fair trade coffee and service to the community, all of the owners are equals and volunteer the hours that are put into Brewing Grounds. We are currently seeking to expand our efforts further into the community by offering a classroom space, independent publishing, a local music distribution center, art gallery, youth outreach, more concerts and a group meeting space. Our endeavor means a lot to us, as we are so passionate about fair trade coffee and community outreach in a city that has loved us in return!
