THANKS FOR GETTING US TO OUR 4TH BIRTHDAY!

Thank you all, again, for another year and a wonderful celebration.  The photos from EDWIN DEMAFILES will be ready by Tuesday, and I will post link or information on Facebook.  Everyone was so very patient with the unseasonable heat!   Debbi and I and all of our family at the Perk appreciate your continued support.  Additional thanks and loads of gratitude to our VOLUNTEER CROSSING GUARDS, our Easter Bunny, SANDI SEGAL (MWWP, organized all of our food), MOLLY KAUFMANN (entertainment), LEAH, KATE and MEKENZIE for handling the morning shift, and to our manager, SHARON HEALY for organizing and preparing so much through the weeks so we could be ready.   It takes a village to raise a coffee shop.  We got a good one.
