RAISE A MUG TO COFFEE DAY!

Today is National Coffee Day. I personally am not a coffee drinker --- I've just never developed a taste for the brew but I do love the smell, appreciate the whole idea around it, and absolutely love a lot of coffee drinkers.

So, in honor of this auspicious day, I'm giving away a bag of truly fantastic coffee. This coffee is fantastic not only because it tastes great, but part of the proceeds from every single bag of it goes to support the ministry to the children and community of the Bheveni Carepoint in Swaziland. Ground-to-Cup is a roasting company that is passionate about fairly traded, freshly roasted coffee and is passionate about causes that have touched the lives of their team.



I'm going to give you lots of chances to win a 12 ounce bag of Bheveni Ground-to-Cup Coffee.

1. Just leave a comment with your contact information telling me what you love about coffee.

2. Share this post's link on your facebook. Tag me in it so I can see that you did, and also, post that you did in a separate comment from the number 1 comment.

3. Post about this give-away on your blog with a link back here to Graceland. Again, leave me a separate comment with a link to your post.

4. Share on fb or your blog about our fundraiser auction that we have going on this week to raise money for our upcoming trip to Swaziland. Leave me a comment telling me that you did this option with me tagged in your post. The link to the auction post is http://elysasmusingsfromgraceland.blogspot.com/2011/09/we-need-your-help-to-make-this-journey.html .

5. Share a link on your facebook or blog to the Bheveni website that tells more about the ministry and the coffee that benefits that ministry as well as how you can buy the coffee for yourself then leave me a comment letting me know. Remember, everytime someone buys a bag of coffee, it impacts lives in Swaziland. So this is an option that you can feel good about! http://moms4change.net/2011/05/13/coffee-with-a-cause/

So there you have it, a lot of ways you can win this yummy bag of coffee. And did I mention? There are three great flavors you can choose from: Ethiopian, Sumatra Organic, and Columbia Organic.

Let the sharing and winning begin! I will do a random drawing from all the entries on Sunday evening at 5:00. So til then, get the word out and comment away!



Oh! And HAPPY COFFEE DAY! Though, for you coffee addicts out there, I think it is a given that Happy and Coffee just go together everyday.
