| CreekSide Co-op Member Meeting |
Come out this coming Sunday, June 27 after the Farmers Market has finished in High School Park. We will be meeting at 2:30 p.m. in the park, so....
-Bring your chairs
-Bring your check books
-Bring your sunscreen
For those members that are in need of assistance, we will have a limited # of chairs already available.
Also, if there is a call for severe rains on Sunday afternoon, we will send out a notice by 6:00 p.m. on Saturday evening if we have to invoke the "rain date" for the member meeting, which is July 11.
The Farmers Market will continue “Rain or Shine” from 10:00AM to 2:00PM. And Speaking of the Farmers Market We have heard from many members, along with several local farmers that the Sunday market is not always convenient to their schedules. Because the CreekSide Co-op Farmers Market at High School Park has become one of the most successful farmers markets in the greater Philadelphia region, we have many farmers that would like to participate, but cannot due to either previous obligations and/or religious reasons. We are in the early stages of researching the viability of adding a Thursday afternoon/evening Farmers Market to our schedule! This would allow us to add new farmers to our schedule and expand our product offerings to our members. Keep an eye out for the details in a future E-News. Beverages, Dry Goods & Other Non-Perishables… Starting this coming Sunday, CreekSide Co-op will begin selling “non-produce” products at the Farmers Market. Ryan Youngman (your General Manager) would like to begin utilizing the Farmers Market to gauge the level of interest in various non-perishable products to see what our members would potentially like to see stocked in the co-op when it opens. Each week we will be selling different types of products (drinks, cereals, grains, etc.) so there will always be something different! It will be a great way for Ryan to get direct feedback from the members about what you may want to see stocked in the co-op in the future, and a way to raise additional revenue during the summer months for CreekSide Co-op. Music & Silent Auction! The Board and several volunteers are working to pull together an afternoon of merriment & exciting things for you to bid & win! Sunday, November 14th – 2:00PM to 5:00PM The details are being worked on as we speak. Please mark your calendars for this wonderful fundraiser! The committee is seeking musicians/volunteers to play music for our members and also for people to donate products & services for the silent auction. If you would like to donate your talents (musicians) or have a product or service that you would like to donate for the silent auction, please send an email to neighbor@creekside.coop.
