It’s February, love is in the air, and for those of us that love food and love the COG community, it’s time for another wonderful potluck gathering! Bring the family, friends, and a dish to share!
Sunday, February 21, 5pm to 7pm
Come shop starting at 4pm!
Plus: A Member Outreach Cell-Phone-A-Thon! That night, we will also have an hour-long cell-phone-a-thon to reach out to our members, reminding them to stay involved and support the COG! Please bring a cell-phone. We’d love it if every member makes at least 5 phone calls. We’ll have a script for anyone who wants one. Thank you!!
Come Early and Shop! FACT: If every COG member starts buying $75 of groceries every month, the COG will become a thriving community grocery cooperative! Shopping on Feb. 21 will be from 4pm to 7pm.
The Finance Committee is meeting at the store. Our agenda is to review our Quickbooks file for the 2009 year, develop preliminary financial reports for the year, and map out our next steps. Our goal is to have sound financial documents for Members and the upcoming Board elections.
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.”
COG members and non-members alike are invited to the COG’s January “Super Second Sunday” – a soup potluck and talent show! Bring a pot of your favorite soup and a talent to share—poetry, a song, drawing, painting, macramé, sculpture, invention, tap dance, Elvis impersonation—ANYTHING!
Happening at the COG on January 10, 5pm-7pm
