1. Co-op seeking volunteers for the summer!
Maybe you are looking for a way to chill out in the
middle of the summer heat.  Or maybe you need to commune with whole grains
and Tofutti Cuties. Maybe you have just always wanted to help out the
Co-op!

The summer is a time at the Co-op where things slow down.  But it doesn't
mean we take a total break!  We are looking for some Co-op supporters who
could give some time here and there to assist the managers in everyday
operations and/or cashier at the Co-op in the moments when Jon and Janelle
will need to be out of town.

We keep going, but as you probably could guess, our finances take the "dog
days" of summer literally and it is unfeasible to keep a fully paid staff
to help with this backup.

If you can help us out by being a regular volunteer assistant or volunteer
cashier on an "as needed"basis, please contact Jon and Janelle at the
Co-op.  983-1547.


2. Our Open Hours in May and our Summer Ordering Schedule
During the month of May up until Memorial Day, we will keep the following
store hours:
Monday-Friday  11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday-Sunday  noon to 5 p.m.

On Monday, May 26th, the co-op will be CLOSED, after which the co-op will
moved to our reduced summer hours:

Tuesday-Friday  12 to 7 p.m.
Saturday   10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday-Monday  CLOSED

Also, in the summer, we will order EVERY OTHER THURSDAY from United
Natural Foods.  Orders from Frontier Natural Co-op will be made on an as
needed basis.  So please plan your bulk orders accordingly, by putting in
your orders well in advance of when you need your items.


3. Come try some of our newly added products!
We've added some exciting new products we truly think you will enjoy!

plastics!)

- Virgil's Wheat-Free Root Beer in a bottle! Tastes like IBC!


4. Help yourself to fresh herbs at the co-op!
With all of this wonderful spring rain, our herbs, both indoors and
outdoors, are in their full green glory!  Outside in front, we have plenty
of mint and sage, as well as some parsley and cilantro coming up!  (There
are also a few things we're not sure we have identified correctly, but
they sure are tasty!)  Indoors, in the back window box, we have much more
parsley and cilantro, with mint and rosemary not far behind.

As the summer progresses, we'll be using as much of these herbs as we can
in our freshly made wraps, but won't be able to keep up - so, please come
help yourself!  Also, we'd appreciate your recipe ideas!

Happy Mother's Day!!
