The second coffee hour will be at 7 p.m. Oct. 9 at Caribou Coffee at the corner of Packard Street and Stadium Boulevard.

Thomas will host the meet-ups on a monthly basis, alternating between a morning and evening time slot to accommodate parents, teachers and students’ schedules. The coffee shop location will vary.

He said although the Sept. 11 morning coffee hour only drew one participant, the publicity generated a handful of emails.

“In that regard, it did have the effect that I wanted, which was to give people an opportunity to contact me with their issues and to ask me questions,” he said.
