Learning, Painting, Donations, Coming Soon

Well I can't believe it, but it has been about 4 months of being open. I can't say that it is the easiest thing. It has been a wonderful learning experience, and I am still learning daily.

This last Saturday we hosted a Painting Party with The Canvas Cafe. A group of ladies came and learned how to paint a wonderful picture, they had a blast and all walked away with a wonderful painting. It was such a success we are hosting two more this month and I am sure more in the future.

I am excited to see The Coffee Corner continue to grow, knowing full well that it will take its own time and not move at the pace I want things to, but I am learning more and more patience as time goes on. One day I believe I will have my dream of my cafe and this is just a stepping stone.

The four months that I have been open we have a can on the counter for Guiding Influence, a non-profit in Alaska to raise money for youth to attend camps at Rainy Pass Lodge with Camp Iron Sights. In these months of being opened we have raised $100 and I plan on counting to help as much as I can. Working out at the lodge for three years, two of which had camps during them I have seen these young men grow so much in just a week and a half. Camp Iron Sights is amazing and I love being part of it.
