WE OWN IT and you Democratically control it!  That's right, each and every current member-owner of the co-op can participate in the annual board elections.  Our board represents the membership interests, ensures that our co-op is fulfilling its broader purpose & goals and oversees the financial health of the organization.  Be sure to renew your co-op membership by August 28th, 2013 so that you can cast your vote and attend the annual membership party out at the River School.  See below and HERE for our 2013 board nominees.
