Fire of the Wrong Kind

A dear friend of mine, and a friend of many coffee lovers in Whitehorse, has suffered a great loss.

This morning there was a fire in the building that houses Midnight Sun Coffee Roasters. It is a tragic loss. The owner Zola Dore is sure to be spinning right about now. My prayers are lifted up for her today.

Not only does this affect the one shop, it also affects her other retail outlets, as well as the many businesses that purchase their coffee from her. This was her only roasting location and I would suppose that the logistics in setting up will be extremely time consuming.

Zola has been, and is a philanthropist. She has at many times helped out various organizations throughout the north. I know. I have personally been the recipient of this graciousness. As well as my church, and a few other clubs that are also dear to me.

I can only hope that those who have received help and support from Zola over the years will reciprocate with support for her at this time.

Please remember her in your prayers.
