zoe | February 18, 2010 3:08 pm

Here’s an amazing lime and blueberry cheesecake Babs made, using fruit from the Co-op. She substituted lime for lemon in this recipe.

And Zoe used Co-op rapadura 70% cocoa solids coverture to make this ridiculous chocolate mousse cake:

You may have recently noticed new huge signs on the Co-op building letting people know that organic and bulk foods are available inside.

Well, they’re working – here’s Co-ordinator Barbara Schreiner speaking with the first new customer who said she came to the Co-op because of the new signs outside.

Upcoming volunteering opportunities

zoe | 12:50 pm

As I mentioned last week, we are working to improve the organisation of volunteers regarding hours and assembling a list of volunteer jobs.

Regarding volunteer hours, it would be very helpful for both co-ordinators and myself if people wanting to do their hour/s would inform us in advance
of when they would like to work so we can spread out the volunteers over a period of time.

Additionally, there are 3 upcoming community events which we here at the Co-op would like to attend.

1. O-week Market Stall Day at ANU Union Court
Wednesday, February 17 10 to 2

2. Sustainability Day at ANU Union Court
Thursday, February 25 10 to 2

3. Harvest Festival
Saturday, March 27 10 to 3

We will be needing volunteers to attend the 3 stalls. This will count as your hour/s worked for this period. Please
email Barbara
if you are available to help with any of these events.
