Are you a co-op member? Are you in need of new mattress and box springs? If so, help recruit families to join the Cedar Falls Food Co-op by hosting a house party. This is an event in which you invite friends, family, co-workers, and other acquaintances to learn more about the benefits of membership in the Cedar Falls Food Co-op. As an incentive, our business partner Foster’s Mattress has donated a new Serta Perfect Sleeper Queen Euro Top (retail value is $1300) which includes the mattress and box springs. Every time you host a house party you are entered into a drawing to win this bed set.
What is a house party? It is basically anything you wish it to be. It can be as simple as hosting a potluck meal, inviting friends over to watch a food-related documentary, or going out for a snowshoe or cross-country ski excursion and coming back to your house for hot chocolate and chili. The sky is the limit on what you can do. The only stipulations are that you are a current member, you invite at least some people who are not yet members, and you invite a co-op board or committee member to stop in to help you talk about the Co-op and answer any questions your guests have. By providing us with your guest list and a brief description of the event, you will be entered into the drawing if you have hosted your party between December 1 and February 29.
As we march toward our goal of acquiring at least 1,000 members before we open the store, you as a co-op member will help us get there. These house parties are a proven way to encourage others you know to join our efforts. We even have a house party packet to make it easy for you. If you have any questions or this has inspired you to go to your calendar to pick a date, contact the Co-op at info@cedarfallsfoodcoop.org.
