Food Co-oping

[jaqeboy]

The meeting went well last Saturday with a couple of new people added to the organizers committee and new work roles taken on by everyone.

16 October, noon at AltOberfest in Londonderry: next co-op meeting. At this one, you'll be able to sign up as a charter member and place a first order. We'll lay it all out and you can jump in.

We'll give the answer to Kat's question: "Why would I want to do all this work to buy food when I can just go to Market Basket?"

By the way, we tentatively chosen a name, pretty sure it will stick:

The Shire Co-op

Rusel, you started something there with that Shire thing

Sure. White is putting together a Facebook announcement page for the Shire Co-op, then there'll be a link to our temp. page at http://AltExpo.org/co-op, where all the meeting notes will be kept. Our own website will come later.
