6. WHAT DO YOU THINK? PLEASE COMPLETE A CO-OP SURVEY

We've sent it out alone, and will continue to include it in our weekly
update because we desparately want to hear from YOU. If you're not into
the email thing, hard copies are available at the store, or if you can
print this we will gladly receive your completed paper survey here as
well. Thanks in advance!

                 CO-OP SURVEY
Dear Co-op Members,
        In case you haven’t noticed, the Co-op is trying to change.  In an
effort to include as much input as possible from YOU, we hope you
will create some thoughtful time to read and answer the following
questions.
        What change?  The Co-op is considering expanding to a second
location.  Many Co-op Members believe that we could expand our grocery
selection and customer base if we occupy a second store location (off
campus but preferably on the same side of town) while expanding the Meal
Plan and catering to the college population in our current store.
        We would like to get a sense from you, the Co-op supporters, on
the current state of the Clear Creek Co-op and to hear your ideas about
where and how we might move into the future.
