2020 Board Updates
At the Wednesday night February 5th Co-op meeting the Board proposed a vote by members to dissolve the Co-op. New Board members and others attending said “no” to that proposal. Instead, there was consensus in favor of delaying such a motion to be considered at a Special Member Meeting.
Thus on February 19th 40 Coop members attended the board meeting and with a resounding Yay! accepted the motion NOT to dissolve the Coop. Thanks to a generous loan from Sam Lovejoy and the generosity of volunteers Paul Rosenberg and Patty Townsend along with many others, the shelves are again stocked and the co-op moves forward.
Each week brings new challenges as we face financial difficulties as well as a global pandemic. The good news is, the Coop is more important to our community than ever for safe private shopping, and many members have changed their shopping habits and returned. The cafe is open for delicious breakfast and lunch takeout and Friday night pizza is busier than ever. Bread is again being baked thanks to Liam whose last name is appropriately Boulanger which means baker.
