Timothy Mooney ~ Coffee farmers, service learning and coffee immersion visits to Uganda and Hondura

Coffee farmers, service learning, and coffee immersion visits to Uganda and Honduras. Cafe el Zapote has been importing coffee to Ames since 2018, but the volume has grown exponentially over the last two years. Adding service learning trips and coffee immersion visits to the coffee imports is an exciting endeavor.

We will enjoy breakfast burritos and scones from the Filling Station and freshly brewed coffee from Cafe el Zapote. 

Ames Fire Chief Rich Higgins will also join us with a few words about the Ames Fire Station #2 Relocation Project. The City of Ames is moving forward with plans to relocate Fire Station No. 2 from its current location on Welch Avenue to a new site along State Avenue. A bond referendum will appear on the Tuesday, Nov. 4 ballot. This project is designed to: Enhance community safety with a modern, efficient facility; Improve emergency response times; Support redevelopment in Campustown.
