Are you ready for some family fun in the sun?  It begins NOW!  Summer in Peoria kicks off with the Komen Race for the Cure this Saturday and Mother's Day on Sunday.  On Saturday we will be open at 10:00 am with coffee for Komen racers and supporters.  We will also have a sidewalk sale.

The Race for the Cure is always the day before Mother's Day, and usually World Fair Trade Day falls on the same day, but Mother's Day comes early this year, so we have back-to-back celebrations this month with World Fair Trade Day on May 14.  And World Fair Trade Day at Global Village is about coffee and chocolate and music. Stand by for details!

Moms Make a World of Difference!


Moms are ambitious for their children.  Fair Trade provides a living wage for an artisan or small farmer.  In addition a Fair Trade premium is paid to the community, which can be used to build schools, to improve housing, land or the water supply, to upgrade equipment or medical care.  Through participation in a farmer or artisan's co-op, a woman can find her voice and make decisions for her community.  And all of these benefits will give her children opportunities for a better life--whether the child follows in Mom's footsteps, becoming a better prepared farmer or crafts-person, or launches a new career.

Read how Fair Trade is making difference in the lives of mothers and their families.

World Fair Trade Day is Saturday, May 10.  Join us at Global Village for a sidewalk sale, door prizes, and coffee and chocolate samples.  We will also have bluegrass duo "Josh and Keith" performing  in front of our store from noon till 3:00pm.  Find the perfect gift for the Mom in your life.

Celebrate Mothers Day the Fair Trade way!
