A Note To You: We Love You.
Well hello.
First things- apologies for the 6 days of silence. It has been a week full of recovery from an exciting and exhausting first half of 2009 and a week full of the beginning stages of special surprises that are no less exciting than the first half of 2009. Plus, we covered the skylights with some burlap to help keep the room cool during those days of hotness…and it works. You will no longer sweat while sitting in Everyday Joe’s. Unless you just sweat a lot, in which case I can’t help you but I will give you a hug.
Back to the first half of 2009…
At Everyday Joe’s, we tend to operate on semesters. This is the result of being in a college town. When I look at a calendar, I see semesters and breaks…though I have been a college graduate for 5 years now.
This past semester (January – May 2009) has been a special one to me & I believe probably most folks at Everyday Joe’s. Our volunteer base (love them) continues to grow and improve as they continue to take more and more and more ownership of the place. Diana Sitzman (EJ’s assistant director whom I call Boss) is due most if not all of the credit for this. She loves the volunteers like lion cubs…and as a result they make superb drinks but more importantly they believe in 144 S. Mason and what happens here.
Our board/leadership team/synergy directive ambassadors (we’re not sure what to call it) has also taken ahold of things like the things had horns. A bar redesign is in the works (shhhh….it’s a secret) among other special surprises all aimed at being able to serve our community – that we hope to become our family – better.
Really, I am lacking proper words right now. Perhaps you should just believe me when I say that you – our peoples – have made the first half of 2009 mighty fine. Thank you.
We love you so much.
love.
chris & everyone at Everyday Joe’s
