Spreading the word, AGM and volunteering at the Co-op
Barbara | February 18, 2010 3:00 pmYesterday was ANU O-week Market Day. Thank you to the volunteers who helped me run The Co-op stall, tell students about The Co-op and sign up new members.
And check out this a gorgeous new sign made by an Zsuzsi, our enthusiastic and talented illustrator volunteer. Thank you! She is also creating a new poster for us. Very exciting!
Next week is Sustainability Day at ANU, volunteers are welcome and it’s a lot of fun too.
Now for the Important Bits – AGM on March 13
I want to remind all members that our AGM is coming up on Saturday, March 13 at 4pm. To encourage the quorum of 20 members to pass agenda items there will be free nibbles & drinks.
Every attending member gets 2 stamps on their card – that’s four months of shopping at a 20% discount on ordinary prices.
Please put this date in your diary and join us.
Volunteer and Co-ordinators – opportunities to help and to comment
We are in desperate need of volunteers and co-ordinators and running this co-op is dependent on your generosity. Since we resumed 6 day a week trading, it has been a very time consuming process trying to fill the shifts and the few people who have been available to co-ordinate have had to double or triple up just to cover the shifts we are open.
Obviously co-ordinators are critical to the opening and operation of the Co-op and we are struggling to find enough volunteers. I would really appreciate any members taking the time to train as a co-ordinator and if you don’t have time for this then I would appreciate any suggestions of changes we could/should be making to alleviate this situation.
