'Green' Celebration at After Hours

On April 22nd, the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours hosted by Evans Brothers Coffee Roasters celebrates Earth Day at their studio with live acoustic music by Bright Moments, Pend Oreille Winery and Laughing Dog Beer cash bar, and features the 3rd Artist Collaborative Series to benefit Lake Pend Oreille Water Keeper.

Evans Brothers Coffee Roasters will unveil their exquisite new coffee, Rwanda Abakundakawa. This Fair Trade certified gem comes from a coffee cooperative located in the northern region of Rwanda composed of 1,956 producers of which forty-one percent are women. Through the Fair Trade price, this cooperative enables workers to establish various social and productive programs increasing potable water, providing transportation improvements, and establishing a women’s association to discuss and solve pressing issues.

Additionally, Evans Brothers will introduce their own Evans Brothers reusable coffee containers as part of their reuse and recycle program and learn about other ‘green’ efforts, including local middle school student involvement and other efforts underway.

The spring celebration will begin at 5 pm Evans Brothers Coffee Roasters’ studio, located at 524 Church Street. For additional information, call 265-5553 or visit www.EvansBrothersCoffee.com.
