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.
