This year’s Annual Owner Meeting will be held from 6-9pm on April 28th at the Mt. Pleasant Discovery Museum.
We are holding elections for our Board of Directors. Voting will begin at the Co-op on Friday, April 14th and continue through 7pm at the Annual Meeting on the 28th. Interested parties are encouraged run. Simply fill out this Board Candidacy Form and follow the directions at the bottom to declare your intent to run.
As usual, the Annual Meeting is a potluck, and Owners are invited to bring a dish to pass. There will also be several delicious options provided by our Deli, and beer and wine. New this year, we’ll be having a casserole contest and attendees will have the chance to vote on their favorite dish. The winner will receive a $50 gift card for GreenTree!
