Klecks to Take Over Coppei Café

WAITSBURG - As The Times was going to press this week we learned that Emry and Sandy Kleck have reached agreement to take over the lease of the Coppei Café in downtown Waitsburg. The Klecks currently operate a catering business from their home in Dayton.

Allison Bond, the current operator of the café will hand it over to the Klecks on July 1. Bond has operated the café since November 2012. The café facility is leased from former Times Publisher Imbert Matthee, who owns the buildings and equipment.

The public is invited to a special party to say goodbye to Bond and introduce the Coppei Café's new operators. It will be held Sunday evening, beginning at 6 p.m. The Q will be serving grilled food and live music will be provided.
