- proceeds from the fall craft fair helped purchase the coffee equipment; the craft fair is organized annually by Marti; in addition, this year Vicki recruited the many volunteers needed to pull off this event so that we had proceeds that go to equipment purchase
- when buying our own own equipment, Doug and Lee reserached local options, online options, pricing, specs, and a host of other issues and got us the best equipment, the most equipment, at the best prices
- someone had to detach the old equipment and install the new stuff, thanks to Greg for that work
- a ministry such as this requires week to week management and a passion for teh potential good this change can do in Rwanda. Nancy has this and oversees the ministry, and kicked off this past Sunday handling coffee sales and donations.
- we needed to communicate the change to the church, why we're making the change, and Doug and Joslyn played key roles here
- our coffee ministry team is made up of 8 people inclding Nancy and Larry, Deb and BJ, Greg and Julie, and Doug and Karen, who make and provide the coffee each week; they have played key roles with this switch as well.
I probably overlooked some folks, but personally, so much of what has been good about this switch has been that it's been a real team effort, and something that the team has been excited about.
