<Title>Coffee Alert: Commons 308 Temporarily Out of Cups!</Title>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Hey Retrievers,</p>
    <p>We wanted to let you know that <strong>OGSL has run out of coffee cups</strong> for the time being. We are working on getting a restock delivered as soon as possible, but in the meantime, the coffee station is "BYOC" (Bring Your Own Cup).</p>
    <p>If you’re heading our way and need your caffeine fix, please:</p>
    <p>• <strong>Bring a reusable cup or tumbler</strong> from home.</p>
    <p>• <strong>Grab a cup from one of the restaurants downstairs</strong> and bring it up with you.</p>
    <p>We know this is a bit of a hassle, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience! We'll post another update as soon as the new cups arrive. Thanks for being patient and for keeping the sustainability vibes high in the meantime. 🐾</p>
