Mystic Monk Coffee updates!
May 2nd, 2012 | 
Author: The Monks have a new flavored coffee: Amaretto! It’s smooth, with that delectable almond taste that is perfect at any time of the day. For a dessert, you can add a little sugar and whipped cream to make a delightful treat. To order, please visit the Mystic Monk web page using this special URL: http://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/store/?aid=137
On the subject of flavored coffees; we still have a limited amount of the Pascha Java available. If you haven’t got some already, I suggest you do so now – It won’t be available again until Christmas time. It’s available here.
If you don’t like flavored coffees, our Easter Sunrise Blend is a fantastic breakfast coffee. Expert coffee reviewer Kenneth Davids, awarded it a very good 91 point rating! Here’s some of what he said about it:
”Intense, idiosyncratic, original… Dried date, raisin, dark chocolate, distinct lavender top notes. Deep-toned acidity; heavily syrupy mouthfeel. Smoothes and sweetens a bit in the finish, but retains its weighty, savory richness.” (Kenneth Davids, Coffee Review, April 2012.)
You can see the Easter Sunrise Blend here
Every purchase of Mystic Monk Coffee supports not only the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming, but also, when purchased through the links above or the link on our web page, the Frisco chapter of St Vincent de Paul. So indulge a little and support both the contemplative monks and the poor and needy in the Frisco area.

Mattress on Golf Hole Nets Over $9,000! What?!
Friends for Golf Mattress Movers
Okay – maybe the mattress didn’t garner the $9,000, but it sure helped to bring in players for St. Vincent de Paul’s Inaugural “Golfing For Friends” Tournament on October 17 at the beautiful Tribute Golf Course.
It was a surprise to all when they showed up to tee off on Hole11 and saw a mattress. It quickly became an item of curiosity. When asked about it, Chairman Gene Sartore was quick to smile and say, “Hey, I sold that hole sponsorship because the man wanted to display his mattress and our non-profit needs the money to help those in crisis – looks like a win-win to me!” And a win-win it was! The mattress was given away as a prize and the player who won is eager to come back again next year – where else can you play golf and go home with a new queen-size mattress! Only in Texas and only at “Golfing For Friends!”
Golfing for Friends Supports (L to R): Stan Garrett, Bill Tann, Tournament Chairman Gene Sartore and Bill Strait
All joking aside, SVdP is a relatively young non-profit that is very active in the Frisco community assisting those folks who find themselves in a financial crunch and don’t know where to turn. All proceeds from this fund raiser will go directly back out to “friends” in need. Each Monday night the SVdP group meets to review requests from clients for assistance. There is never a meeting where there are no requests. Martin Reiser, President, says “If you could hear some of the stories we hear, you would be opening your wallet without hesitation to help. There are some folks really hurting out there.”
SVdP is extremely active in helping identify resources in the area to aid clients as well as helping with utility bills, helping with family budgeting and so many other issues. SVdP is a 501(c ) 3 non-profit and all donations are tax deductible. They are a social services organization dedicated to serving all people in need, regardless of race or religion. If you need assistance call SVdP at 214-619-4096 or go to www.svdpfrisco.org for more information.
The next “Golfing For Friends” tournament is already scheduled for October, 2012, and, yes – you just might see a mattress on a hole! As Chairman Sartore says, “Whatever it takes to help our “friends” we’ll do it!”
