Our grand reopening of Coffee Strong set for this Saturday, February 2nd, has been postponed due to permitting issues with the City of Lakewood. On behalf of everyone at GI Voice, please accept my apology for this late change. Weve been eagerly looking forward to this opening since our Board of Directors first put this date on our calendar back in December. However, in order to expedite resolution of this dispute with the city, we have decided to postpone the opening.
We are working to resolve this dispute as soon as possible, and will be in touch when we have a firm opening date and celebration. Thank you for your support of GI Voice over the past year, and we look forward to celebrating our reopening with you soon. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or on my cell phone at 206-604-2285.
In Solidarity,
Alex Bacon
Co-Director, GI Voice
P.S. Were moving full speed ahead to be ready for our reopening. Over the past month weve been holding weekly volunteer trainings on topics ranging from suicide prevention to supporting service members seeking a way out of the military. Weve also participated in a counter recruitment training and have supported efforts by Seattle area peace and justice groups to help cut war spending. Check your inboxes later this week for reports about this and much more!
