This is Lara making a drink for her dad last weekend. Lara has decided to join Bethany and to move forward using her degree in Marketing and Design. We will, without a doubt, miss her cheery presence and wonderful disposition around the shop. Will Teri ever get used to these “way too brief, but great” employee experiences????? Good luck, Lara…. we will all miss you here!

The newly organized West Washington Park Merchants Association will meet at the shop at 7am on Wednesday. All members receive a 20% discount off their bill. This meeting we hope to firm up our values and mission statement. We will be led by the fearless Sandi Segal, who took the initiative and has done so much of the footwork for the Association. Thank you, Sandi!

Bethany Applegate, aka “B”, came to the Perk 10 months ago just after moving here from Michigan… She has been the steady and quiet competence behind the scenes, helping Teri keep her sanity as the shop has continued to grow. Well, she’s landed a really wonderful job with a small local company that will allow her to use her degree in graphic design. She is so excited and we are happy for her as she embarks on this promising opportunity. We hope to still see her around, sipping lattes and occassionaly filling in behind the bar! We will miss her very much… Good luck, B!!!

A little bit more info on BAD and what they’re up to…
BAD hosts First Friday – the LARGEST monthly women’s party in the US with more than 1500 women every month. BAD is excited to have a team in the fabulous All Women’s Bike Ride – the Venus de Miles on Sunday August 30th 2009. It’s a RIDE not a race and you can join if you can ride a bike. The ride will be in Longmont and there will be a fabulous festival following the ride. BAD will have their own jerseys and all the proceeds will benefit Greenhouse Scholars. For the next several weeks, they will be hosting social gatherings to “pump up the volume” on the ride. Please check them out. The web site for the ride is www.venusdemiles.com.
ALSO,
On Sunday the 19th, Luke Rackers will be back. Come watch, listen and enjoy from 4-6pm.
Check out the FANS of Washington Park website if you haven’t already. It’s got great information about events and runs at the park, issues related to park, and how we can all get involved in helping to maintain and improve this gift. I know that we feel lucky every day to live here. We say it each day when we walk in the park. It’s both vibrant and relaxing, integrated and welcoming, and so well cared for. We just became members of FANS, as I wasn’t familiar with the group until recently.
Check out the Snapping Turtle laying eggs at the park! l
