1.Join the Co-op Staff in the Fall!
Would you like to work in an energizing and engaging environment?  Are you
looking for a way to serve the Earlham and Richmond community by promoting
healthy, whole, and just approaches to obtaining the food you eat?  Then
consider joining the staff at Clear Creek Food Co-op!  We are looking for
exciting people to fill a couple of positions.

*Cashier: Looking for people-friendly coop-er and a quick learner to staff
the cash register on Wednesdays from 11am-4:30pm.  Also possibilities of
some evening hours.


If you are interested, pick up an application at the Co-op!

2.Carrie and Torin Are On Leave
Meanwhile Rae Hunter is filling in for them.  If you have any questions
about the CO-OP please feel free to call Rae or email at
clearcreekcoop.org.  Messages for them can be left with Rae and they will
periodically check in with her.


3.Sign Up Now for the Fall Meal Plan

We are now taking registration for the Fall Meal Plan.  Lunches will be
served beginning the first FULL week of classes.  Come by the Co-op to get
a registration form   and get prepared for a semester full of great food
prepared by our new kitchen manager Kristina Perry.  Kristina joins us all
the way from California and has extensive experience in vegetarian cooking
for large groups (think...Quaker school cafeteria!!).  We are happy to
have Kristina with us.

Hurry and sign up while there are spaces available!

4. Co-op at the Farmer's Market
Be sure to stop by the city lot next to Morrison-Reeves library (N. 6th
and N. A) for a great selection of local produce, between 7-11am (get
there earlier in
the morning for the best selection--some of the stalls close around 10 or
so...)  The Co-op doesn't carry much produce during the summer due to
decrease in foot traffic through the store, so we encourage you to plan on
obtaining your fresh local produce at the market!

You can also find the Co-op holding some space at the Market!  We will be
selling a variety of our bulk foods and snacks and doing outreach in the
local community.  Stop by and see us!

5. Handmade Items at the Co-op
Long-time member Janet Wagner has graciously knitted many colorful
potholders/scrub rags to sell at the Co-op.  They are only $5 each and all
proceeds of these purchases will go to the Co-op.  Come by and see these
great crafts!

6. Next Order

Tuesday the 15th.  The next order
will be placed Thursday August 24th and will arrive on the 29th.
