"Coffee Friday" was started a few years ago by our chapter as a way to raise money for our Music for a Better Future Scholarship which provides free lessons for the year to some Waco school children on their instrument or voice. Every Friday, members of the newest pledge class are in charge of setting up the table with the coffee pot, creamers and sugar, cups, napkins and Shipley's Donuts. We sell the coffee and donuts for a dollar each. This seemingly simple idea has actually allowed us to raise a lot of money over the years for this scholarship, and it had now become a beloved tradition in the Baylor School of Music. At the beginning of the school year I always have people asking me, "When is Coffee Friday starting up again??". Students just love the idea of getting a morning treat and coffee on their way to and from classes, AND the idea that it is going towards a great cause to promote music in our community!
