1. Inventory Day: Saturday July 2nd
The Co-op will be taking quarterly inventory Saturday, July 2nd.  There is
a lot to do for one or two people, but with many it's not only easier, but
loads of fun! There are always goodies provided and you will undoubtedly
sharpen your counting skills (could look good on a resume...and don't
forget, the Co-op is now air-conditioned!).  We will begin at 8 am.  If
you are available to help, please contact Carrie at the Co-op.

2. Veggies Featured at the Co-op: Garlic Scapes
We are happy to introduce fresh, local produce from Salem Road Farms in
Liberty, IN.  Currently, we have some garlic scapes and fresh free range
eggs (fed on organic feed).  We will be building our produce section with
Salem Roads, and we hope to continue offering Boulder Belt veggies as
well.  So as the summer goes by, we'll be updating you on the veggies
featured at the Co-op.

3. Ordering this week: June 30th
We'll be placing our order with United this week (Thursday is the regular
ordering day).  Remember, the Co-op only orders every two weeks in the
summer, so if you want to make a member order, don't forget to come by!

4. Co-op to the Farmer's Market
The Co-op will have a stall at the Richmond Farmer's Market again this
year.  We will be featuring some of our great bulk items from grains to
nuts to snacks, so be sure to come see us and all the other great locally
grown produce and other items!  The market meets in the parking lot across
from Morrison-Reeves library, Saturdays from 7-11 AM.

We also need to staff the table throughout the summer and into the fall.
This would be a great way for members to get involved in the work of the
Co-op and participate in a great outreach activity.  If you only have one
Saturday free to help, we'd love to have you!  If you are interested,
please contact the Co-op.

5. Summer Fun at the Co-op
The slow down of summer brings time to give the Co-op a face-lift!  There
are many ways you can be involved this summer in the Co-op.  Could you
support your Co-op in the following ways?

*Carpentry Work?  We have some chairs and other projects that someone who
has fun with hammers, nails, and drills would find heavenly!

*Painting? Our outside tables need painting.  Someone to paint them or
donate paint to the cause could really make them looking spiffy!

*Committee Work?  Does the idea of working with others on a common goal
get your juices flowing?  There are two important committees currently
meeting that are exploring options for a possible Co-op expansion:
Location Committee and Economic Support Committee.  Folks who have an eye
for space or a know how for fund-raising could help the Co-op out
immensely on these projects?

*Gardening? The Co-op herb garden needs attention and tending.  Maybe
you'd like to get your hands in the dirt and play with the worms and the
herbs!

*General Volunteering? There are numerous miscellaneous projects that need
to be done at the Co-op: cleaning, recycling, stocking, etc.  One hour a
week makes all the difference!

*Other ideas?  We are always open for volunteers to express and give life
to their vision on how the Co-op might improve!

Come by the Co-op or give Carrie a call if you are interested in any of
these projects!
