A New Green Fundraiser for GDS!

The coffee tasting at the L/MS on February 8 was a great success, so we are moving ahead with the GDS Organic Fair-Trade Coffee Subscription.

Order via: http://www.groundsforchange.com/partners/GDS. (NOTE: You must enter the site through this page to ensure that GDS receives credit for your purchase.)

Why Offer A Coffee Subscription:

• GDS gets 20% of all sales.
• GDS can offer a green fundraising alternative to wrapping paper (we need to sell 200 bags a month per year to equal wrapping paper revenues).
• GDS supports a good cause (fair-trade organic coffee) AND raises money for another good cause: financial aid at GDS.
• Grounds for Change is an eco-minded company (http://www.groundsforchange.com/partners/GDS for details).

The Benefits:

• Delivery! Get excellent, organically grown and fairly traded coffee delivered to your door.
• Selection! Select from a wide variety of choices, including decaf and espresso.
• Flexibility! Cancel, join, or change your subscription at any time. There is no time commitment.
• Just Right! Most coffee drinkers use 2 bags per month (That’s four if you have two coffee drinkers in the house). But you can order however much you like—there is no minimum purchase (or maximum!).
• Easy to Pay! You will be billed monthly through a secure website. GDS gets 20% of your purchase.
• Feel Good and Green!

Follow these simple steps:

• Enter Grounds for Change via http://www.groundsforchange.com/partners/GDS. You must order through this page in order for GDS to receive credit for your purchase.
