Welcome to our new board members–Mallory Devries, Nick Phillis, and Ben Scholl! We had our first board meeting as a new board in November and had a chance to get to know each other. These individuals were willing to step up at a crucial time for our co-op!
Did you read the November message from the Board? At this time WE WILL BE MOVING FORWARD with our goal of opening a full-service grocery store co-op! Other start-up co-ops have done it after 10 years and we can, too!
Are you working on your 2024 goals and new year resolutions? Consider volunteering your time with us! We still need more core organizers! For several years we have been operating with not enough committed member-owners to make our goal a reality. We need:
- Project manager for the Site Committee
- Capital campaign committee members and leadership
- Finance committee members including one or two people tasked with finding a traditional bank loan and a secondary loan
- One person to fill a vacant 2-year term on the Board of Directors.
- People willing to apply for the Board of Directors each August. Every year we will have three positions available. Board members should not be expected to serve multiple terms. Now is the time to reach out with questions and/or attend a board meeting to learn more.
We also need you to be an active member-owner! Here are a few other ways you can get involved:
- Stay informed about our Co-op and share accurate, updated information with others.
- Share with others why you joined the co-op and why you want to see one in our community.
- Share, like, and COMMENT on our social media posts.
- Attend events to help build our community.
- Share ideas for events or best days/times to host events at info@rootedcarrot.coop.
Please reach out to info@rootedcarrot.coop if you have any questions.
Jodie Huegerich,
President, Board of Directors
