Save the Date! Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Thursday, May 2 at 7:00 PM at the United Church’s Trinity Hall (kitty-corner to City Hall at 6932 Crofton Street).
Feel free to bring along some snacks and desserts, but we will lay on a nice spread of snacks and beverages, so no worries.
You will be all be getting a notice in the mail (along with your newly revamped share certificates) soon, but here is a rough look at what our AGM will look like:
- A progress report for the past year, including a report on how we did financially.
- Elections for four directors (interested in joining the seven-member volunteer board? We’re looking for a few ‘passionate-about-food’ members with talents and time to put toward this amazing project we call Skookum). Contact us if you are interested or want more info.
- Fabulous Door Prizes! (Do you also want to donate a local food or related item? Let us know.)
- An update on how Powell River Dollars can benefit the co-op, and an opportunity to buy some PR$.
- After the formalities, we’ll enjoy our delicious refreshments and a fun ‘Meet-and-Greet’ event to get to know your wonderful fellow members. Please also bring some treats too if you can– finger food and desserts, especially vegan and gluten free options welcome); we know we have some of the best bakers in Powell River amongst our membership and we want to help you showcase your skills!
- A chance to buy some newly-ordered Tattler reusable BPA-free Canning Lids (see below for more info).
- Remember the blog post we put out on cover crops? Well, they arrived a bit too late for Seedy Saturday, but we will have cover-crop seed samplers (1/2-pound packets of an Organic Pea & Oat mix for $3.00 each). These are crops that add nutrients, loosen your soil, and suppress weeds in your garden beds.
- It looks as though we will have some Cafe Justicia Fair Trade “Plus” Coffee on sale too!
- Find out more about our Bulk Buying Club, The Abundant Pantry, too in time for the May 12 springtime shopping deadline! What amazing products for the lowest possible prices. Find out more here: http://skookumfood.ca/bulk-buying/members/faq.php).
Well, there will surely be even more going on at the Skookum AGM, too.
See you there on Thursday, May 2!
More about Tattler lids
This time we’re selling Tattler lids at even lower prices! They’re about half the price you’d pay via Amazon.ca (and 15% of the cost goes to support Skookum). We ask members to limit purchases to 100 lids ea. at this point, to allow more members to take advantage. After the AGM, we will offer the lids on a per-order basis.
We will have:
- 24-packs of regular lids + rubber rings .60 ea ($14.50); 50-packs ($30);
- 24-pack wide mouth lids + rubber rings .70 ea ($17.00); 50-packs ($35);
- Individual extra rubber rings (wide and regular) .22 each in packs of 5 ($1.10 per pack).
