Below is the circular from Staubucks Management. Decide now... Do you want to use it any more? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Thankyou To All Starbucks Customers (Tuesday, 11 July 2006) - Contributed by Howard Schultz - Last Updated (Tuesday, 11 July 2006)
Dear Starbucks Customer,First and foremost I want to thank you for making Starbucks the $6.4 billion global company itis today, with more than 90,000 employees, 9,700 stores, and 33 million weekly customers. Every latte and macchiatoyou drink at Starbucks is a contribution to the close alliance between the United States and Israel, in fact it is - as I wasassured when being honoured with the “Israel 50th Anniversary Friend of Zion Tribute Award” - key toIsrael’s long-term PR success. Your daily chocolate chips frappucino helps paying for student projects in NorthAmerica and Israel, presenting them with the badly needed Israeli perspective of the Intifada.Starbucks, through the Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah, an international network of Jewish education centres, sponsorsIsraeli military arms fairs in an effort to strengthen the special connection between the American, European and Israelidefense industries and to showcase the newest Israeli innovations in defense. As my contribution to the fight against theglobal rise of anti-Semitism, the reason behind the current conflict in the Middle-East, I help Aish HaTorah sponsoring the website "honest reporting.com” and produce material informing of Israel’s side of the story. Without you, my valued customer, I wouldn’t be able to raise hundreds of millions of dollars each year to support Israeli citizens from terrorist attacks and keep reminding every Jew in America, to defend Israel at any cost. $5 billion peryear from the US government are no way near enough to pay for all the weaponry, bulldozers and security fences needed to protect innocent Israeli citizens from anti-Semitic Muslim terrorism. Corporate sponsorships are essential.Having the bigger picture in mind, Starbucks have donated a store to the US army to help in the “War onTerror”. I cannot emphasise enough, how vital the “War on Terror” is for the continued viability andprospering of the Jewish State.So next time you feel like chilling out at a Starbucks store, please remember that with every cup you drink at Starbucksyou are helping with a noble cause.Howard SchultzChairman & Chief Global StrategistStarbucks Coffee Stores --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "newsline" group.
