An overview of what's happened to date was given by Helen Elden: We are incorporated and our bylaws have been ratified. Terry Lodge has provided us with legal assistance free of charge. Our board members have been elected. Becky Fitzpatrick is our treasurer. Our mailing list has approximately 500 names. Pat Garver maintains our mailing list. Fifty-five people have paid $10 toward membership. We’ve mailed out four newsletters and have $900 in the treasury. Our activities have included tables at local events and a WSPD radio talk. Robert Hannon attended a food co-op convention in Ithaca, New York last summer and hopes to attend it again this summer from 6/7 through 6/9. Helen attended a two-day workshop on co-ops in Ann Arbor this fall.
Our supplier will most likely be FORC. We've looked at possible sites, including downtown and the warehouse district. At the moment we're looking at a site next to Jo-Jo's on Monroe Street which has 1352 square feet and a negotiable rental fee of $700 monthly. (600sf)
We have shelving left from the old co-opTheresa. we need to work on a business plan, location, funding, setting a membership fee, and getting a storefront opened with, we hope, a paid manager. Each board member received an introductory packet, which included a board mailing list, a general mailing list, a general instruction sheet, and by-laws.
