Still looking for a used PC for the CoG office

We need a Windows machine to run QuickBooks accounting software.
Finance committee member Rahel Smith is centralizing all our invoicing and payments through QuickBooks, and would like to install a PC in our office. If you have a used PC you are no longer using (needs to be a 2.0 GHz Pentium 4 processor or higher), please email Rahel at accounting@thecog.org.

The CoG will be closed on Saturday July 3rd

Kaki Farms Eggs are in the House!

Kaki Farm's Eggs

Info about the eggs from Kaki Farms:
* The chickens are pasture raised which means that they live free on the farm we don’t cage them.
* The chickens feed themselves with whatever they find on the farm. Whenever there is leftover fruit or vegetables we don’t sell, we give them those as well.
* The farm is certified organic so whatever they find is organic.

First CoG Town Hall Meeting Draws Enthusiastic Crowd

Over 60 members show up to learn about the state of
our co-op and chart a course for the future.

The evening began with Luke Miratrix’s presentation featuring the financial status and goals of the CoG, 3 ways the Core Group is trying to stimulate revenue, and 3 simple ways each member can help.

After the presentation, a feedback forum gave CoG members a chance to share their ideas and questions regarding procedures, training, community and other areas where the CoG needs to move forward.

The meeting concluded with a busy hour of shopping the shelves and vigorous conversation by the visibly inspired and engaged attendees.

Next Town Hall Meeting: Sunday, August 30th (not labor day weekend) at 6pm. See you there.

Until then, KEEP SHOPPING!!
