Join us for an information session: Sunday, January 10, 3:30-5 pm
Our by-laws call for the formation of a new board in the next few months. The Core Group, which has been functioning as the defacto board since our inception in 2006, has run its course and it is time to hand the reins to new blood. This more members who participate, the the more successful the process, so join us if you can.
You’ll learn about:
The board seats and the responsibilities each entails.
How the nomination and election process works.
The liabilities and assets that the new board will be responsible for.
The 6-week transition period between the CoG Core Group and the newly elected CoG Board.
The possible creation of an advisory board of food and activist luminaries.
Bring your questions and your comments.
When we’re done, stay for our Super Second Sunday event, this month: “Soup and Soul.”
Below are our hours for the last two weeks of the year. Remember to place your order online by 8:00 Monday evenings to ensure your items will be in stock (and in your box) that week. If you can work a shift these weeks, please sign up on our holiday schedule here (we have people on vacation, and a few non-routine shifts so we can use extra coverage).
Please join us at the Cooperative Grocery on Sunday December 13, 5pm-7pm, for a fun and yummy “Super Second Sunday!” Members and non-members are all invited to come and enjoy:
A sweet and savory potluck—bring goodies to share!
Listen to live music of Alexis Harte! (alexisharte.com)
See an aquaponics demonstration by Kijiji Grows! (kijijigrows.com)
Make and decorate cards for the season!
Wear a fabulous hat and be warm and cozy!
Win door prizes when you shop!
And here’s a poem to get you in the festive mood:
Alexis Harte will provide the entertainment at the COG on December 13!
Tis the season
To be freezin’
But wait,
Not so in Berkeley.
Instead we’re cool
Checking out the fish pool
Watching aquaculture
Fish swim perkily.
Come for the cheer
From far or near
As we celebrate
Holidays galore
With food and art
Music with Harte
And Sweet desserts
Who could ask for more?
Okay, so we don’t have any turkeys at the CoG, but we do offer great prices on other Thanksgiving trimmings. Organic canned pumpkin and baking supplies always jump to mind, plus a wide variety of spices and broths, cooking oil, and an enthusiastic recommendation from member Moira Kenney to put a bottle of Reed’s Spiced Apple Ginger Brew on your holiday table.
If you write reviews on Yelp!, help new members find us by writing a review of CoG. We have a couple members who’ve written reviews, but it’s been a year since our last review. Log in now and promote us: http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-cooperative-grocery-emeryville
All CoG members, and anyone else interested in joining our co-op, are invited the last Sunday of every month to join us for a general meeting.
The format has been evolving, but basically the general meeting is an extension of the Core Group meetings. It is a chance for the larger membership to discuss the topics of the day. Core members always attend to provide updates and answer questions.
We held our first Super Second Sunday event (Chocolate tasting) from 6:00 – 8:00 PM. Is this the best time for these events? Please take 30 seconds to answer our poll to help us select the time that works best for the most people.
You can find the poll on the top of the right-side menu on all pages on our web site. Select all the times that work for you.
Once you vote, you can click on the “View Results” link to see how others have voted. (Vote early, but not often!)
2nd Annual Sit-A-Thon: September 19, 2009 in MLK Park, Berkeley
We are a community partner of SIT for Change, a nationwide event held in conjunction with the International Day of Peace, Global Mala for Peace, and National Yoga Month. Two ways you can participate: Sign up some sponsors and sit! This works just like a walk-a-thon: friends and colleagues pledge to sponsor your partipation with a donation, but instead of walking, you sit. Or sign up to work the CoG’s info table.
Come visit The CoG’s table at the Solano Stroll (@Colusa, across from Mechanics Bank). Need to do a make-up shift? Like meeting new people and spreading the word about the CoG? Then sign up to help staff our table at Solano Stroll!
Our Central Coast (Reedley) Bulk Raisins by the bag are currently on order. A new batch is being dried by the raisin makers. They will be in on September 13th.
