Thank you, Griffin area residents! We have met our fundraising goal for the
third year. The challenge is now to meet our goal the fourth year of our
partnership with Capitol Land Trust. Help us to reach $60,000 at the end of
our fourth year.
Coffee has a strong aroma because it gives its goodness up to
the atmosphere so quickly. It has lost many of its best qualities within ten
days of roasting.
I roast high quality arabica beans every Monday and deliver
them to neighbors in the Steamboat neighborhood for less money than any
specialty roaster in the Olympia area. Roasted and delivered the same day is
the aim. I offer organic, fair trade beans whenever they are available to
me.
When you try Stickman Coffee I think you will recognize the extraordinary
value I am offering my neighbors. The coffee you buy off the shelf can not
compare to Stickman Coffee; not in freshness, convenience or price.

appropriate decision makers.
The Griffin Neighborhood Association also undertakes and supports projects
that benefit our community, help to build a sense of community, and educate
the community on topics of interest.
BOARD AND OFFICERS OF THE GRIFFIN NEIGHBORHOOD
ASSOCIATION
