GMC at DNC

We believe that both Democrats and Republicans, heck all Americans, deserve a great cup of coffee.
Over the past few years, we’ve had great success selling our coffee throughout the Denver area. This is a result of hard work from sales folks such as Jim Martin, Lisa Hovey, Jeanne Benecke and many others. Recently, Lisa Hovey was able to have our coffee sold at the 2008 Democratic National Convention held in Denver, CO.

Here’s is Caitlin’s report from the big event:
Green Mountain Coffee had the pleasure of being a coffee supplier for the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado last week. Six GMC employees from all over the country met in the mile-high city armed with Fair Trade Organic French Roast and Fair Trade Organic House Blend Decaf ready to serve the thousands of people descending upon the Pepsi Center for this historic event. And they drank a lot of coffee!
Over 10,000 cups of Green Mountain Coffee were served over 5 days at the convention. We brewed our delicious coffee 20 hours per day for the likes of the Obamas, the Clintons, Dan Rather and other famous newscasters, Teddy and Caroline Kennedy, media from all over the world, secret service men and women, speechwriters, delegates, fire fighters, doctors, actors and musicians. Green Mountain Coffee was even featured on the local Denver Fox news channel as a great product not only for its quality and Fair Trade designation, but also for the company’s dedication to environmental and social responsibility.
Compliments abound from people all over the convention about the quality of our coffee.

Some even coined us the “most popular people at the DNC!” All in all, it was a great event and it was wonderful to be able to share our product with people from all over the world and all walks of life. – Caitlin Falzone

9/19 UPDATE: Thanks to Lisa Hovey’s hard work, we are now the coffee served at all Pepsi Center events in Denver.

Good job. Great to know our favorite Falzone woman continues to get interesting gigs. Nice choice on the FT Org French Roast, though I am into Dark Magic myself (if only it were organic). Keep those political activists buzzing!

I would like a Cinnamon flavored bold and xtra bold. And the Raspberry K cup year round. My husband likes it.
