FROM THE BOARD . . .
What would you think if you learned that the owners of the PNFC owe the Co-op $128,358 in unpaid ownership payments? That was the figure in the Financial Report at the July meeting!
That’s working capitol that the Co-op needs to purchase inventory, make improvements to the market, and pay our obligations: building & equipment lease, business purchase payments, labor costs, etc. As we move slowly toward profitability, that unpaid amount looms large, like a road block in our path.
Can you help? Can you pay off your owner investment, or make larger payments – at the cash register, online (not yet, but soon), snail mail, etc?
We owners are what make our Co-op strong and healthy, by paying our owner buy-in fee and shopping at our market. The Co-op – We Own It!
The LOCAVORE DINNER was a rousing success! “Thank you!†to all of you who attended and enjoyed this wonderful annual event. Big cooperative thanks to all the volunteers who helped put it on, especially Locavore Coordinator/Queen Percy and her Co-Coordinator Karen. Exemplary work!
LATER THIS FALL . . . Let’s look forward to the Co-op’s 2nd Anniversary Celebration all day on Saturday, Oct. 26 at the market. There will be all sorts of special things for everyone to enjoy. AND the Annual Owner Meeting will take place upstairs in the afternoon (details later) with prizes for attendees!
