Coffee company takes action to help Wells, Nev. victims

February 21st, 2008 isn’t a day residents of Wells, Nevada will soon forget.

The 6.0 magnitude earthquake that shook the small city of Wells early that day caused damage ranging from minor to severe across the northwest, now one small business is stepping up to help the residents of Wells, NV.

Residents of Salt Lake City Utah, Boise Idaho, Reno Nevada and cities in between have reported feeling tremors from the quake more than 200 miles away.

One woman in Boise, Idaho reported a new crack in her garage floor spanning from one side to the other.

In Wells, NV the quake has caused major structural damage to many historic buildings, twisted framing on houses, and broken glass everywhere. Officials are surveying over 700 homes in Wells for an assessment of the damages.

The residents of Wells, NV need support to begin rebuilding and repairing businesses and homes. In Boise Idaho one small business is stepping up to help the victims by donating 30 percent of all the money raised from selling coffee and 100 percent of all donations made through Idaho Roasting Company’s website.

Each week through the month of March, Idaho Roasting Co. will donate money raised to the Reno Nevada Chapter of the Redcross, which is providing much of the needed support in Wells, NV. Idaho Roasting Co. has been roasting and delivering freshly roasted coffee directly to consumers for over six years.

For more information on how you can help please visit idahoroasting.com.

No smoking zone

I thought this was an establishment for higher education. We come here to build on the basic fundamentals of the knowledge we already posses. So why do people continue to smoke in the smoke free zones?! Didn’t they have to take a test or two before they were admitted, that proved they could read?

Seriously people! “Smoke Free Zone” means no smoking!! “Choking on Campus”
