InterAmerican Sponsors 2010 SCAA Reception

InterAmerican Coffee is the sponsor of the Coffee Kids Reception at the 22nd Annual Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) Exposition in Anaheim, CA. The event will be held on Friday, April 16 from 5-7pm, in Ballroom A of the Anaheim Convention Center.

“It’s great to have our friends from InterAmerican Coffee on board for this event,” said Carolyn Fairman, executive director of Coffee Kids. “The reception will be a great opportunity for people to learn about our partners in Latin America, and network with others in the world of specialty coffee.”

At the reception, Coffee Kids will highlight The Rural Children’s Education Foundation of Costa Rica, a longtime Coffee Kids partner that has provided scholarship opportunities to thousands of students from coffee-farming communities. Coffee Kids Executive Director Carolyn Fairman, InterAmerican CEO and President Guy Burdett and other special guests will also present a brief program about Coffee Kids work. Light refreshments and cash bar will be available.

InterAmerican Coffee is a strong supporter of Coffee Kids’ mission to help coffee-farming families improve their quality of life. The company is an importer and distributor of high-quality green coffee.

“As an importer and distributor of coffee, the work Coffee Kids does helps us connect with the producers and contribute directly to an improved quality of life,” said Guy Burdett, President and CEO of InerAmerican Coffee.
