If you’re reading this close to its original posting time (on a Friday) you’re probably looking forward to the weekend, not looking for a way to make it through the work day. But come Monday – or any other morning of the work week, maybe – if you’re like many, there’ll be one topic in the front of your mind. Coffee.

That’s why we thought we’d help banish the Monday blues a little bit with a social media event we’ll be holding in conjunction with Lawrence Give Back on Mon., March 7. We’re calling it the Give Back “Monday Cheer” – our way of spreading the Lawrence Give Back love for local business while helping, well, caffeinate anyone in Lawrence who’s fighting a case of the Mondays.

Here’s how it works:

– Follow Lawrence Give Back on Twitter, if you don’t already.

– Send @LawGiveBack the name and location of someone who could use some Monday cheer. Here’s an example: “Hey @LawGiveBack! My friend Susie works as a cashier at Checkers and loves coffee!” (Need to give a full street address to help the delivery team, or want to be a little more secret? Send the info to @LawGiveBack in a direct message.) On Mon., March 7, our crew will deliver to their door a cup of coffee or hot cocoa from Lawrence Give Back merchant Signs of Life.

– Tweet in your orders by noon on Friday, March 4. We’ll fill orders until we run out of cocoa and joe, so don’t wait!

– Watch our progress March 7 as we post updates and photos to lawrencegiveback.com/monday (where we’ll also be live-updating a map of our progress in the Give Back Monday Cheer van) and our Facebook page.

Sound like fun? We think so, and we’re looking forward to seeing the coffee orders come in. We’ll also check back soon with a recap of the day – once we calm down from the caffeine buzz, that is. Questions or thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.
