Astoria, Coffee Kids, And Scae Netherlands Host 'Drinks, Delicacies And Dancing At The Dominikaner'

Online, June 10, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Coffee Kids, Astoria and SCAE Netherlands are pleased to announce their collaboration in organising Drinks, Delicacies and Dancing at the Dominikaner, to be held Wednesday, June 22nd, following the opening of this year's SCAE World of Coffee in Maastricht.

The reception will kick off a fantastic series of events organised by SCAE Netherlands in conjunction with this year's World of Coffee show. In addition to drinks and nibbles, the event will feature a brief presentation on Coffee Kids programmes at coffee origin, an address by Astoria, one of Coffee Kids' largest sponsoring partners, and the potential for lots of coffee fun.

"Astoria has been a supporter of Coffee since 2006, and since that time they have contributed over $45,000 to Coffee Kids projects. Their commitment to sustainability in the environment and at coffee origin is something that resonates with the Coffee Kids message, and we are very proud of our relationship with them and appreciative of their continued support," says Carolyn Fairman, Executive Director of Coffee Kids. "Additionally, the support that SCAE Netherlands has shown in organising this event, in addition to the effort they have shown in directing funds to Coffee Kids, is invaluable."

Event sponsors, Astoria, have said, "We are proud and excited to inform the coffee community that once again this year it will be presenting to Coffee Kids proceeds from the sale of its flagship machine, Plus4You." This year the donation - which will be more substantial than ever before - will be presented at the event. "We look forward to meeting all our friends for a bite and a drink on this occasion, and to maximize support for our fantastic humanitarian cause," commented a representative from Astoria. The Astoria Plus 4 coffee machine will be presented front and centre at the event, and guests will be invited to pour perfect rosettas as they mingle.

The Dutch Chapter of the SCAE are central to this year's event, which is just one of many organised as part of the World of Coffee Maastricht event. "We are very excited to work with Coffee Kids. It's a great initiative to improve the Coffee World from the base. Let's hope we can raise a lot of money for them and we'll have a lot of fun doing that," says Annemarie Tiemes, coordinator of the Dutch chapter.

Special thanks are also extended to Vojacek Wijnen, Single Estate Coffee, and Gulpener, who's contributions will make the event possible.

Tickets to the event will be sold for 10 Euro for three hours of free drinks and nibbles. They are available online through www.scae-events.com and in Maastricht at the SCAE stand or at Coffee Kids' stand during the show. Last tickets will be sold at the Barista-Embassy next to the Dominikaner.
