March 13 is our AGM. Please put this in your diaries and attend if possible. I will publish an agenda after our next meeting which is scheduled for February 11 at 6pm.

As anyone who has shopped here recently will have noticed, we are working to improve our presentation with new signs both outside and in. Currently there is volunteer work on the inside signs for people wanting to do their hours.

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. I have been considering creating a Google Doc Calendar for people to sign up on line in addition to writing on the roster here in the shop or telephoning in. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please let us know.

Greetings Shoppers,

I hope you are well. I’m sure everyone is busy as the end of the year approaches. As I mentioned previously, the final day of trading for the Co-op will be Saturday, 19-12. Sunday, 20-12 will bee cleaning and packing up before the 3 week break until we re-open. It would be very helpful if any members who are available could come to help with this process. We will start at 10am and continue until finished. Since this is my first pack-up, I am unsure how long this will take but many hands make light
work so please come along. Any help will be rewarded with ‘butterflies’ and snacks.

Also, since we are closing soon, all Mountain bread has been reduced to $3.00 before your member discounts. They have plenty of shelf life and freeze well so please take advantage of this discount.

Finally anyone who has placed a bulk order please check to see if it has arrived and come in to pick it up before we close for Christmas.

All the best for a happy, healthy and safe Holiday Season.

Warm regards,
Barbara
