A quick update on our last meeting. We discussed:
Tasks that had been undertaken - shipment order, formation of committees including steering committee, decisions about interior decor, progress on increasing stock, research on organics
Upcoming activities - film on Cuba's Green Revolution, Reusable Bags fundraiser, Dining on the Farm fundraiser. Help is needed for the fundraisers. Volunteer your time and resources.
Commitment - much of the meeting centered around the issue of commitment. How is it possible to build commitment to a coop when our society may already have a problem with commitment, accountability and loyalty? What would help to build this commitment? How does commitment already manifest in the shop?
There was a fair amount of serious discussion on this and also some good laughs. Email us your thoughts or comment below.
This week, Robert Goderre, the future owner of the shop and coop member, will be engaging with the decor in a big way. Come offer your help! Or moral support!

That's it for now.
