COFFEEHOUSE TEA CLUB: What is Coffeehouse Tea Club? During the Fall semester we are a social club that gathers to drink tea and discuss issues of local and international importance. During the Spring semester we focus intensely on one or two of these issues and conduct schoolwide activities to increase awareness and raise funds to change our world in positive ways. In the past two years we have addressed the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Darfur Region of Sudan and the issue of global food shortages. We have also raised money to support the Bangor Humane Society. Our first meeting of the year will be on Tuesday, October 14th right after school in Mr. ManhartÕs Room #44. New members are always welcome.
