The morning of Wednesday, December 18, started like any given Wednesday morning with the Clandestine Coffee radio operators drinking coffee and enjoying breakfast items at Flexit Cafe in Ellsworth. The group usually mingles for a couple of hours, with attendees coming and going. This morning, however, there was a surprise.
The EAWA members and friends who attend the Clandestine Coffee wanted to give a big THANK YOU to Flexit for their hospitality. The tables are always arranged nicely with “reserved” signs when the group arrives. The service is great, and everyone is friendly. To show appreciation, Dick W1KRP, painted a scene from Monhegan Island that Paul, the owner of Flexit, is particularly fond of. The smile on Paul’s face was genuinely heart-warming. The gift came with a card signed by all of the attendees.

Please feel free to join us for Clandestine Coffee at Flexit Cafe, 142 Maine Street in Ellsworth. As Christmas and New Year’s Day fall on Wednesdays this year, the group will meet on Thursdays at 9:30am — December 26 and January 2 — before returning to Wednesdays at 9:30am.
