>                  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.
