Happy Spring everyone!
The following includes events and opportunities happening in the next few weeks. Pull out your calendars and save some dates!
This coming Saturday, March 26, is an exciting day for friends of the Co-op:
In the morning from 9am to noon, the Winter Farmer’s Market will be taking place at the Innovation Center (814 East Main St. a few blocks up from the Co-op). There will be a delicious Jen Ferrel created breakfast, FREE fresh cups of coffee, and live music. If you have any questions, contact Tory Medinger, the Market Master, at tmed32@gmail.com.
After the farmer’s market, come by the the Co-op where local artist Carvin Rinehart will continue his on site painting of seasonal labyrinths. He began in February with the beautiful, Spring-inspired heart labyrinth you can see in our window.
In the afternoon from 3pm to 5pm, Kelly McCreery will be teaching a Green Cleaning Workshop. You will learn how to make your own household cleaners from simple non-toxic ingredients. She recommends attenders to bring: 1 spray bottle with a nozzle and 1 glass jar with a tightly sealing lid. This workshop costs $5 for members and $7 for non-members.
The following week on Wednesday, March 29, we will be receiving our first produce order from Tree of Life. Working with this new-to-us supplier has already provided us access to great deals and flexible case sizes; thanks to their product selection, we are thrilled to soon be able to stock a variety of produce year round. Please contact us with any questions or recommendations your may have.
Saturday, April 2nd, we will be taking quarterly inventory. Any members interested in a one time use additional discount on bulk ordering or a 15% in store discount are invited to come volunteer for two or more hours to help this inventory go smoothly. If you just want to give us a hand but are not concerned about getting a discount, come on by for less than two hours. Any amount of time you have to donate is greatly appreciated.
Also on Saturday, April 2nd, the Townsend Community Center will be holding a Garden Planting Party and Lunch from 10am to 1pm. We are pleased to support our friends at the Townsend Center with their impressive vision; you will find the flier with more information about the event attached to this email.
All the best,
Co-op Staff
