Archives for the Month of April 2009 on SAGES Cafe
We hope for your hellos!
Summer break is creeping swiftly up, and we find ourselves basking in the ever-increasing sunshine yet scrambling to say our Spring goodbyes until Fall.
The staff at the cafe isn't so good with "goodbyes." We prefer to say a bunch of "see you laters." We also lament that we won't get to interact with many of our favorite people this Summer, which is why we encourage...with prizes...to write us this Summer!
Participate in our SUMMER POSTCARD CONTEST. Simply write to the Sagistas at:
SAGES Cafe, Crawford Hall
10900 Euclid Avenue
Cleveland, OH 44106
Every postcard we receive will be posted on a display board here in the cafe to share with everyone, and prizes will be rewarded in three categories:
-Farthest distance from the cafe
-Best postcard written while sitting at another Peet's location (you must prove it somehow)
-Overall funniest postcard (...really, we're the LOL types. Send us lots of laughs.)
We wish all the students the best of brain power on finals and look forward to hearing about everyone's Summertime adventures.
Free Coffee for Earth Day
Next Wednesday, April 22nd, the SAGES Cafe will celebrate the fruits of the Earth and the harmony between all its inhabitants by giving away free 8 oz. cups of Peet's Fair Trade Blend.
Although we all know the excellent quality of the Peet's Coffee and Tea served at the cafe, many do not know that Peet's is committed to sustainable partnerships with all their coffee cultivators.
According the the Peet's web page for the Fair Trade Blend: "In addition to the price designed by Fair Trade to deliver a livable wage to its members, Peet’s pays a premium to all of our suppliers for producing coffees of superior flavor, as well as ten cents from every pound to the non-profit group TransFair USA for promoting Fair Trade." Makes the coffee taste that much better, doesn't it?
To learn more about Peet's commitment to the Earth and our global community, visit their website.
And to celebrate the global community, join us Wednesday for a free cup of Fair Trade coffee!
Hit the Books...and the Beans
Spring Semester is zooming to a close! Anticipation is in the air for warm weather, Summer vacation, upcoming travels, and a break from the intensity of the school year. It's all so close, yet just beyond that one last hurdle--finals.
We at the cafe would like to help the Case student community get over that last hurdle and into the free zone. This is why we're offering special discount prices for students to selected Peet's Coffee drinks on the two university designated reading days: Tuesday, April 28th, and Wednesday, April 29th. Espresso shots will be $1.00, a small coffee or a coffee refill will be $1.00 each, and for those with a sweet tooth, small lattes (flavors included) will be $2.00 each.
Don't forget, the cafe offers a plethora of study perks: plenty of outlets for laptops, wireless internet, quiet study space, meeting/group study space, and an array of snacks, food, and non-coffee beverages.
See you there!
Journeyings
The eastern corner of the cafe was transformed last Thursday by an all-day reading of Vergil's epic poem "The Aeneid."
At the event sponsored by the Department of Classics, Vergil's story of a Trojan hero was read in turns by a number of participants including Case faculty, staff, and students, as well as Shaker Heights High School, John Hay High School, and Notre Dame Academy in Toledo, Ohio. Artwork was displayed all day from Professor Martin Boyle and students in Arts 101/201 from the Studio Art Program.
Thank you to everyone who participated for refreshing the cafe atmosphere through art and Classic literature!
Please look at this entry's continuation for more photographs of the event.
