WELCOME KELLY AND ZOE!

Zoe Leanza will be joining us to help out at the register and with bussing on busy weekends.  This is Zoe’s first job! Zoe’s interests and talents include: creative writing, photography, speech, squash, violin, rock-climbing, scrabble and debate!  No wonder there hasn’t been time for a job!  Zoe is being bombarded with lots of new information, but seems to handle it with ease and a great sense of humor.  Happy to have you, Zoe!  Hang in there! :)

IMGP0236Kelly O’Laughlin also joined us last week to patch up the hole left by Jennie’s departure to Uganda!  Kelly has a myriad of skills and experiences, including past barista experience at The Human Bean in Greeley, CO.  Kelly has been an office manager, Yoga Instructor, Substitute Teacher, and Zero Waste Co-ordinator in Telluride.  She currently continues her profession as an Acting Coach and Actor, and hopes to pursue her graduate degree abroad next Fall.   We’ll be lucky to have her until she gets word of acceptance in a program.  Her fun, friendly and fast learning way will be a pleasure to enjoy around the Perk.

Welcome, ladies!

Well, we’ve been in denial long enough…. but today is Jennie’s last day.  She heads back to Ohio to visit family later this week, then it’s back to Uganda and her mission with Come, Let’s Dance! Right now, Jennie is committed until December, so hopefully we will see her again over the holidays.

Jennie, you are an exceptional woman, and we all will miss you so very much.  Your kindness, integrity, silliness and competence are qualities that we admire and have enjoyed being around….Safe travels.  We love you!

NEW FALL HOURS: This weekend we will begin closing at 4pm.

Beginning August 24th: we will close everyday at 4pm.
