Island Cafe Reminder After the Festival, the cafe is now lying exhausted on its back with its leggies in the air (figuratively speaking). We were on maximum capacity for much of the day last week! So, are we going to be shut this weekend? NO! Absolutely NOT! It takes more than 500 coffees to keep a good cafe down! Meet you in Catherine Park, Sunday 19th, between 10 and 12. Bring your new momento mug, and we will fill it with fine coffee, and offer a selection of delicious cakes to fill up the corners. These unique souvenir Scotland Island mugs are still on sale at the cafe – but hurry! There aren’t many left! A snip at $8. If you come to the cafe every week with your new mug, you’ll make that $8 back in cafe discounts in 16 short weeks! There is also some milk left over from last week, which will be for sale at the cafe on Sunday. For those who know the questions to ask – yes, it is still within date, and yes, it has been kept in a fridge this week. See you on Sunday! The Cafe Crew Thank you from the Grameen Group The Offshore Grameen Group would like to thank everyone who supported their stall on Sunday. We made $183 from donations and the sale of drinks and books. This is enough to provide a microloan to a woman in poverty. Your contribution will go to help Annie, a woman from the slums of Manila, to start up a small micro business. It will help both Annie and her family on their journey out of poverty. We appreciate your support. Nila Chambers, Amber Ellis and Lisa Atkins (on behalf of the Offshore Grameen Group)  Author Talks at Mona Vale Library Author Chris Rau Shares Media Tip Mona Vale Library’s next Author Talk will feature journalist and author Chris Rau on Wednesday 22 September from 6.30pm.
