All we can really say about the response we’ve seen to the Lawrence Give Back Monday Cheer coffee giveaway is: Wow. Y’all really like your coffee – and your friends. As of 9:15 Thursday night, we’ve received enough orders that in order to deliver them on time Monday, we’ve had to stop accepting new ones. (Those of you who were still hoping to send a coffee or cocoa to a friend, please keep an eye on Give Back’s Web site and Facebook page – who knows when Monday Cheer may pop up again?)

Now the next step is to put together a route for Monday’s journey around Lawrence – we want to be as fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly as possible (not to mention quick enough to keep your coffee warm!), so planning a good roadmap is essential. We’re really looking forward to putting some real-life social into social media on Monday, complete with coffee, cocoa and free Lawrence Give Back cards for everyone. (It’s a little bit like playing Santa Claus!)

If you have a few free minutes on Monday, watch for live photos, anecdotes and updates on Lawrence Give Back’s Twitter and Facebook accounts. We’ll also be live-updating a Google map of our trek on the Monday Cheer home page.

See you all on Monday! Would you like cream or sugar?
