January 2012 General Monthly Meeting

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – Come to the meeting!

Volunteer with the Bushwick Food Coop community.  We need help redesigning and maintaining our webpage.  We need a coop Secretary.  We need an Outreach Committee Head, General Manager, Accountant, Work Shift Coordinator, and Store Managers.  We need scheduling, event organizing, designing, business planning, flyer distribution, and retail system design help.  Join the BFC google group to find out about weekly Monday coop wide meetings and Siting committee meetings and to stay in the inner coop conversation, and/or email manager@bushwickfoodcoop.org to volunteer your help.  Pledge volunteer hours to help the coop in this transitional time.

Happy New Year Bushwick Food Cooperative!

things you can look forward to in the new year:

LEASE SIGNING:  The Bushwick Food Coop and Chrissy’s Cooking Club are excited to be closing a deal with enthusiastic Charlie and Maria Verde, owners of Verde’s Pizza and our new space at 265 1/2 Irving Avenue right across the street.

BUYING CLUBS:  We are looking for a space to hold buying clubs in until the lease is signed and the space is finished.  If you can offer or recommend a space, please let us know: manager@bushwickfoodcoop.org.

HYBRID STORE FRONT-BUYING CLUB:  Once we have a storefront we will be open a few days a week and offering a weekly buying club for perishables as we build membership and funds to be open more hours and to stock perishable organic produce around the clock.

DESIGN AND BUILD:  Design charette, community design input/feedback, and build days to come.  Sign up on the Pledge Drive Form to receive email notifications of these — we encourage pledging hours too!

FILM SERIES:  Stay tuned for dates and location of an amazing choice of films this year.

ANNUAL BOARD MEETING:  Elect new board members, vote in new bylaws.

COMMUNITY:  Fill out the upcoming community survey, and be prepared for several wonderful community based events and input/feedback opportunities.
