Awesome word cloud from the Co-op Conversation!


Thanks to Member Relations Committee volunteer Lois for thinking of doing this. It's a simple image, but it highlights what the conversation - and the Co-op - is all about.

And don't forget to read the full report!

Co-op Conversation Report Available to Members!

As the leaves begin to blush red and yellow, kids return to school, and crisp, local apples appear at the Co-op, the Co-op Conversation meetings of this winter and spring might seem like they were eons away. But behind the scenes, staff and volunteers on our Member Relations Committee have been hard at work putting the final touches on the report back from the event. With an overview of common themes and ideas, and some suggestions for moving the forward, the document is an easy and interesting read.

Please take a look and then let us know what you think! Staff and Board decisions are already being made based on the information gathered at these events (pick up an October newsletter to read the Board's Strategic Priorities, for instance). Email us your thoughts at memberrelations at olympiafood.coop.
