little as you like at a fraction of the cost of regular tea bags.  Come in
and see (and smell) the new arrivals!!

Chai Tea Mix (black tea and spice combination)
Orange Spice (black tea with orange peel and cloves)
Oolong (traditional Chinese black tea)
Red Raspberry Leaf (herb known for its healing properties of menstrual pains)
Fruit Tea (herbal blend of lemongrass, orange peel, peppermint,
hibiscus, and rosehips)
Honeybush (soothing, sweet herbal tea)
Lemon Ginger (a dazzling, refreshing blend of lemon peel, ginger root, and
other herbs)
Don't forget the old regulars: Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Hot Chocolate
Mix, Ceylon, Lavender Flowers, Chamomile, Jasmine, Gunpowder, and
Ganmaicha

Not Teas, but...
Relaxing Herb Bath (soothing combination of relaxing herbs including
lavender)

 peppermint)

Come check out these new products at the Co-op!

4. Fall Membership Meeting: Sunday, October 30, 4:00-5:30pm @ the Co-op
Membership meetings are the one of best places to excercise your role as a
member and is the place where we continue the conversation about the
direction of the co-op!  If you are a member, your participation is
crucial and your voice is needed!  We'll update on the continuing
development vision that we began at the Spring meeting.  Snacks will be
served...and everyone loves snacks!

5. New Warehouse, New Changes
United Natural Foods. Inc.  has moved our ordering location to the
Greenwood, Indiana warehouse beginning this week.  This will bring some,
yet minimal, change to ordering and product availability at the Co-op.

a. If you are placing member orders, you will now need to pay attention to
the warehouse code which will change to "G" (as opposed to "N"), which
means some products you used to order might not be available,
butdifferent/new options may be available (see #3 & #4).
b. A change to the earlier update on this situation: The order day will
REMAIN THURSDAYS and will arrive on MONDAY!
c. There will be a new variety of products that you will want to checkout,
such as more organic bulk cheeses and some items that are in
smallerquanities, as well as products that are local to the midwest, such
as East Wind Nut Butters.
d. This might entail a tad bit of chaos as we make the switch-over.  We
will do our best to minimize the confusion and help you find the products
you have always counted on, or comparable products if what you want is no
longer available.  We appreciate your patience during this process!
