Did John ever get the stuff he paid for from Jack's Co-op?

Actually, I was acting as a go-between for John to the Deerfield Country Co-op, but since I moved from Deerfield subsequently and was no longer in that co-op, I refunded his money.

At the AltOberfest co-op meeting, we decided to hold off until we could do a fair comparison between Frontier Foods and Associated Buyers, so we'll decide on which supplier to go with at the Saturday meeting.

If anyone is curious about the co-op concept, I'll give an intro to co-ops and to the Shire Co-op at 4PM, then we'll start the meeting at 5 to decide on which supplier to go with. We'll also select who will be the representative from our group to the supplier. We should also choose a treasurer and a couple of other positions, but we'll see how far we get. So far, meetings are by consensus - no charter or by-laws yet.

Hey, admin. I didn't know how to link this post to the calendar, so created a 2nd thread which came from the calendar listing. I think I'm missing something on how to do this. Tips? Can the 2 threads be joined?
