Dear Friends of Union Station Cafe, If you have visited the cafe in the months of September and October, you are aware that we are growing and changing rapidly. These changes have been effected with the intention of better serving the needs of our community and our customers. As with all periods of rapid growth in both people and businesses, we are experiencing a few growing pains. Please be patient with us during this time of change and know that we are working diligently to correct any problems and address all service and product-related issues. We will always strive to make Union Station Cafe a place you will be proud to bring your family, friends & acquaintances. We appreciate your patronage and understanding. Best Regards, Olga Watkins, Cafe Manager NOVEMBER 3 - FIRST FRIDAY @ UNION PROJECT – APPRECIATION NIGHT 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm On Friday, November 3 the Union Project will hold an evening of celebration and appreciation for those who have offered their gifts and time to further the mission of the Union Project.  Come join us as we recognize Susan Indrisano, Board Chair for the U.P. as the  2006 Volunteer of the Year and dedicate the Foltz Board Room in honor of board member emeritus Robert S.
