World Fair Trade Day 2007

This Saturday is World Fair Trade Day. Since 2002, the second Friday in May has been set aside for Fair Trade - everything from information meetings to big sales on Certified Fair Trade products at local businesses. World Fair Trade Day is celebrated every second Saturday of May, and is endorsed by the International Fair Trade Association (IFAT), the global association of Fair Trade Organisations, comprised of 300 organisations from 70 countries around the world.　This year's theme is "Kids and Fair Trade". This World Fair Trade Day calls on all of us to celebrate Fair Trade Organisations, buy more Fair Trade goods through Fair Trade stores, Fair Trade catalogues and campaign groups and encourage conventional companies to sell more Fair Trade products. You are invited to join this year’s World Fair Trade Day by holding your own event to celebrate Fair Trade, join events in your area, sending messages of support. This is a great time to get together with you local communities to make a difference in global ones. Cafe Evoke Catering will be giving half off drinks this weekend at our normal catering event and also will be offering 10% discounts for any events booked before next Saturday (May 18th). What are your plans? Contact your local Fair Trade coffee or tea place and ask what they are doing to be a part of this day. You can find out more about this event at the Offical World Fair Trade Day website. Here is a list of events going on in the United States - one of the 70 countries that particpates in this day. Enjoy it and have a great weekend! ...be bold Tagged: cafe evoke, coffee catering, coffee, espresso, tea, bozeman, montana The Global Exchange Fair Trade Store is your Online Source for Socially Conscious Gifts
