Our second month brought a flurry of activity as committee work began in earnest. The marketing committee volunteers are hard at work creating flyers and business cards for distribution around town. Members of the fundraising committee are preparing our co-op’s first grant application to defray the cost of our feasibility study/market analysis. The vendor relations committee is networking with potential suppliers. Finally, our Board of Directors is creating a working business plan, and meeting with banks about financing options.
Check out our new blog! A rotating cast of authors will choose a general topic each month, and write about healthy living options, useful recipes, and local community events within the scope of that topic. New contributors and topic ideas are always welcome. Please email HudsonGroceryCoop@gmail.com with suggestions.
The Board of Directors is pleased to welcome the following new co-op owners:
Angela Scott
Christine English
Carole Finneran
Brandy and Paul Dopkins
Sarah Atkins
Claudia and Greg Noble
