Co-op Members and Friends,

As the Co-op continues to grow--and as we continue to envision ways of
being more responsive to the needs and demands that also contiue to grow
for the Co-op-- it is essential to have member involvement...and, it's
pretty fun too.  If you are a member of the Co-op, you most likely already
support the Co-op through your purchases.  But some of you might remember
the days when being a member meant you had to work a few hours every week,
unloading orders, placing orders, etc.  Those days are gone to an extent,
but it doesn't mean the need for volunteer help is any less needed.  Here
are ways we see that members might enjoy being involved, and meet a need
of the Co-op's.

BAKERS - do you love to make bread?  The Co-op woud love to provide more
breads during their lunches and to have for general purchase during the
day, but we have limited meal plan volunteers.  Consider "rising" to the
occasion and "mixing" with the Co-op crowd for a couple hours a week.

DESSERT MAKERS - put your sweet tooth to work!  As above, we'd love to
have more desserts offerred for lunch and general purpose.  There are
multitudes of recipes you could artfully use to bring a sweet smile to
your Co-op.

CASHIERS - make change with a smile.  Torin and Carrie, full time managers
and Rachel and Rae, weekend cashiers, sometimes need to find backups for
emergencies or perhaps some well deserved "mental health" days.  Consider
being trained to be a "back up" cashier (a substitute of sorts) in order
to ensure the Co-op is constantly available to other Co-opers in "days of
need."

COOKS - same goes for Lucy, our kitchen manager.  If you would like a spin
at running a kitchen for a day (coordinating simple, healthy meals), Lucy
would love for you to join her and to help out when she is sick or needs
to be out of town.

WORK DAYS - just count the ways you could help!  Every three months the
Co-op has a Quarterly Inventory and Work Day.  The next one is Saturday
October 1st from 8am-3pm.  Help us count our inventory or put your
carpentry, artistic, hygenic (that's cleaning), organizing secret self to
work for a good cause.

BOARD MEMBERS - the Co-op's Board of Directors are looking for new
members.  The Board meets  once a month for 1.5 - 2 hrs along with
spending time on other supportive functions.  Beth, Amy, Nan, Jen, and
Jennifer would love to have you on the Board with them this fall!

sound good? Contact Carrie, Torin, or Lucy at the Co-op if you can
help...because we all need a little help :)

Your Friendly Neighborhood Food Co-op,
