WILLIAMS — Anna’s Grand Canyon Coffee and Cafe has a $66 piece of apple pie which benefits the Route 66 Association to assist in preservation projects for the historic highway. The first piece was sold today to Michael Rioux who is currently moving to Virginia.

Michael said that he wanted to help the community in someway. So he purchased the first piece of pie.

Pie-15-11-19-02He has, however, done much more for the community. Michael is a veteran of Afghanistan and served as the Service officer of the Matthew J. Broehm VFW post in Williams. In that capacity he has assisted veterans and their families in getting paperwork and benefits due them. He has assisted a number of homeless veterans.

His concern for the homeless does not extend to just veterans. He founded Hope For The World ministries in the mall in downtown Williams. He, and his German Shepard Bear, took in donations of food and clothing to hand out to those in need.

Owner Anna Pena-Dick, on her Facebook page, thanked everyone who assisted her in the move. The veterans of the Williams VFW and American Legion assisted in moving much of the heavy equipment and boxes. A brilliant technician, who wishes to remain anonymous, got the Wi-Fi up and running yesterday.

Employees of the Cafe have been busy cleaning, installing and getting things in order for the grand opening. The restaurant will open tomorrow from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. closing in plenty of time to get home to watch television in the event there is something to watch.

The Cafe will continue to feature the same award-winning menu, gifts and souvenirs along with those of the Red Garter.
