3. Volunteer Opportunities coming up!
As we move into spring, there are several event-related volunteer
opportunities we'd like to invite you to consider:

Saturday, March 29th, beginning at 9 a.m. - Inventory and Work Day at the
co-op.  Come for one to three hours and help us count and weigh the store
merchandise for our quarterly inventory report.  Also, it'd be great to
get some important spring cleaning done during this time! Come help us
give the co-op (both indoor and outdoor) some loving care!

Saturday, April 26th, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. - Family Earth Day at the
Starr-Gennett Building.  Come represent the co-op at our booth, sharing
with visitors how being a member and shopping at the co-op is an
expression for you of taking care of the earth! One of the Managers or a
Board Member will be there with you! Sign up for the 10 - noon or noon to
2 p.m. slot!

Regular Volunteering - Talk to one of the Managers about volunteering on a
regular basis!  Cleaning, stocking orders, filing, researching new, local
products, managing our membership files, event planning, beautifying the
co-op...the possibilities are endless!  Come help the co-op expand and
grow by utilizing your gifts and passions!

Please call the co-op (983-1547) and talk to Jon or Janelle about
volunteering at either of these events!  Remember, volunteering as a
member earns you an additional store discount (up to 15%) for the week you
volunteer.


3. Living Locally: Traders Point Creamery
Come in to the co-op to check out the following newly added products:
Traders Point Creamery 100% Grass Fed, Organic Milk and Pourable Yogurts
(packaged in quart-sized bottles).  These products will arrive Monday.

Traders Point Creamery is located in Zionsville, IN, on the northwest
corner of Indianapolis. In March, we made a trip to the creamery to
determine whether their products would be a good fit for Clear Creek and
were delighted by the integrity and intentionality we observed.  Here's a
little about their products:

Traders Point is currently Indiana's only processor of 100% Certified
Organic milk and the nation's only processor of 100% grass-fed organic
milk.  Their milk is a "creamline", or unhomogenized milk, meaning the
good nutrients and fats stay in the milk, but separate naturally, leaving
a layer of cream at the top of the bottle. They use an HTST (high
temperature, short term) process of pasteurization.  In addition to milk,
Traders Point offers yogurt in a variety of flavors, ice cream, and
several European-style artisan cheeses.  Yum!!

Come and try these great new regional dairy products!
