You’re invited: President Shepard, Cyndie to serve coffee at Western Wednesday event Oct. 27

Mark your calendars, Oct. 27 is a Western Wednesday you won’t want to miss! Make your way to the Western Wednesday coffee booth for your caffeine fix at 9 a.m. in Red Square, and if you’re among the first 60 to arrive, you will receive a free personal cheesecake, compliments of Chuckanut Bay Foods and the Alumni Association. What’s more, you’ll be greeted by “baristas” President Bruce and Cyndie Shepard, who will be serving coffee from dedicated Western supporter The Woods Coffee. Bruce is also roasting three bags of his special home roasted coffee beans for a raffle drawing.

The Western Wednesday booth opens at 9 a.m. sharp and stays open until 11 a.m. — or until the coffee runs dry. Be sure to get to the booth before 10 a.m. to visit with Bruce and Cyndie! Everyone is encouraged to come dressed in their Western attire to enjoy a free cup of coffee, tea or cider and a “W” cookie on the Alumni Association and take a spin with the prize wheel. If it’s windy and/or rainy, look for the booth near the entrance to Carver Gym.

More upcoming Western Wednesday dates to note: The Traveling Goodie Basket will be making the rounds Nov. 3 and Dec. 1. To be eligible to win the goodie basket, send photos of your office dressed in Western gear to alumni@wwu.edu by 10 a.m. on the Goodie Basket date. Creativity is encouraged, and all Goodie Basket winners are entered in a drawing for a catered lunch from Ciao Thyme.
