From the Board
By Ruthie Loeffelbein

Welcome to our two NEW Board members: Robynn Paxton Katz and Todd Grosby!  

These Owners’ enthusiasm and willingness to commit to the governance of our Co-op is good for the whole Co-op and exciting to the five Directors of the “old” Board.  Those five Directors were also actually elected for the first time.  Sixty-four Owner ballots were cast (thank you!), enough that the election was valid, according to our PNFC Bylaws.

Your Board of Directors (introduced at the Annual Owners’ Meeting November 1):

  • John Le Pouvoir    3-year term
  • Mickey Kaiserman    3-yr. term
  • Todd Grosby        3-yr. term
  • Ruthie Loeffelbein    2-yr. term
  • Robynn Paxton Katz    2-yr. term
  • Pamela Roberts    1-yr. term
  • William “Bill” Scrivani    1-yr. term

The quarterly Board meetings for the remainder of this fiscal year are  Jan. 26, April 27 and July 27, 2015.  (The first quarter’s meeting was Oct. 27, 2014.)  Owners are always welcome at Board meetings.

Between regular quarterly Board meetings, there will often be an additional meeting, as needed.  These will be posted in the store, on Facebook and in Gleanings.  Our first additional meeting will be November 17, upstairs at the Co-op, from 5:30 to 7:30.  It would be great to see you then.

Owner Services News
by Julie Silvey, julie@placervillecoop.org.
Hopefully you've had a chance to come in to the store since the first of last

month and have noticed all of the great owner pricing on many items throughout, as well as an everyday 10% discount on local produce, a 5% discount on all bulk items and great savings on certain lines in our health and wellness department. In addition to these, we are offering owners our "Lunch Bunch Card" where you can earn savings on deli lunch items.  Be sure to ask for one when you shop or when you purchase your next deli lunch items.

 

Wouldn't it be fun to show off our co-op to the community in the local Placerville Christmas Parade on December 7th?  It will be a casual but fun undertaking and we want YOU and your family to take part.  If you are at all interested in helping with the planning of our entry or just in joining in the fun on that day, please contact Julie or Twyla or sign up at the store. That way we will be able to contact you as more specific details evolve.
