I knew you would be. Thanks Shawn. I know we had talked a long time ago, about Starbucks partnership program. Any chance of recalling how that program worked.

It use to me called "Make your Mark" and a store would enlist it's partners (employees) to volunteer to help out local groups. As part of the volunteering, Starbucks would donate $10(?) an hour to the organization, for each employee that volunteered. It was a great thing. But with the way they have cut back, I don't know if they do it anymore.

Ask Lynn, the manager at Mt Hope if your in there, and I'll ask Jackie out at Westgate about it. If they still do the program, maybe we could get both stores to have their partners volunteer. I'm thinking with making the luminaries. If they don't have the Make your Mark program, I know Lynn and Jackie would probably let us set up in their stores to promote the event. Maybe even have a day where we make the luminaries right in the store. Could be fun!
