COGGON COFFEE
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
7:00am-10:00am
Clemons House 126 E. Main St
(while Historical Hall is under renovation)
Coggon Coffee has been in 'business' over two years now! We appreciate all who are enjoying gathering for a visit, a treat, and some coffee!
We could still use people to help host. Once a month or once in a while would be helpful. Choose a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday from 6:30am-10:00am. Ask a friend to help and share the duties.
Thanks so much to those who already volunteer.

We continue to need your support and donations.
Our Historical Hall window project went over the estimate by several thousands of dollars. Old windows and buildings sometimes reveal hidden problems. We still owe $1,800 for this project.
Now, the Clemons House roof is in need of immediate attention as well!
Your donations to our Coffee Shop, and our upcoming September Concert with 'Darrell, Jacque, & Connie' will help to reduce that debt and secure some of the oldest buildings in town.
THANK YOU!
