Our next meeting will be held at Redamte Coffee House on State Street!
Redamte is a Coffee Shop focused on changing the community through a cup of coffee. Labeled as a “socially responsible and community-focused coffee shop” Redamte attempts to make the world a better place by being a sustainable and environmentally friendly business. They have teamed up with the Beautiful Child Sponsorship Program and the Faith Orphanage in Jacmel, Haiti. Redamte attempt’s to donate large portions of their profits to help the children in need every year. Besides helping out on an international level, Redamte also attempts to vocalize local social justice efforts in Madison. Once a month, the coffee shop will address a different social issue and partner with different organizations. Through this they promote numerous ways to get involved while inviting their customer’s to make a difference too. Recently, Redamte helped REthink Wisconsin with their REfill Wisconsin campaign [Mugs on the Mall] by donating all the coffee! We like Redamte, and we invite you to visit them too.
If you can’t make it to our meeting on Wednesday be sure to visit Redamte yourself– located at 449 State Street [up the stairs of Dobra Tea House, next to Wasabi]. Redamte “the world is better with coffee”
