Club Seven Café opens today

The 435th Air Base Wing chaplain’s office is set to open a coffee house for single and unaccompanied Airmen today in dorm Bldg. 2414, Rooms 279 and 280.

The coffee house is called Club Seven Café and will be open 6 p.m. to midnight Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

The chaplain’s office is currently searching for volunteers to operate the café. Additional days and hours will be possible depending on volunteer availability and customer demand. Volunteers’ responsibilities include serving hot drinks and maintaining accountability of games and other media.

“Volunteers will encourage customers to care for the café and its cleanliness and will maintain a friendly and welcoming atmosphere,” said Chaplain (Maj.) Donald Levy.
Volunteers will be asked to sign up for minimum two-hour blocks of time and will be paired up with another volunteer for each shift. They will be encouraged to provide input on policies and services.

Volunteers must be active-duty military, civilian, contractor personnel or command-sponsored family members assigned to the 435th ABW, 86th Airlift Wing and tenant units physically located on Ramstein.

The chaplain’s office has decided to try this in order to give unaccompanied Airmen another place to relax.

“This café will provide one more place on the base where young adults can hang out, in this case in a non-threatening atmosphere, where there will be plenty of the things that they like to do,” said Chaplain Levy.

The café’s main activity focus will consist of electronic entertainment such as X-box 360, Nintendo Wii and large screens for television and movies. As the café gains customer popularity, the chaplain’s office envisions offering various other opportunities for customer-driven entertainment such as gaming tournaments, karaoke and open microphone songfests.
