Hello to all,

   I had hoped to send this out sooner. A group of locals in Highland Park are trying to organize a food Co-op. Around 50 people showed up the first meeting. We were pretty excited & impressed by all the different and new Highland Parkers that showed up; a lot of progressives from out of state like Vermont & Minneapolis, young families & others from around the area.

   Everyone is interested in developing an alternative, community active co-op that may also serve for social activities too like cooking/food prep classes, sewing or other. The main focus is on the food co-op, and it's in it's development & planning stages & very open to peoples ideas & participation.

   If you're interested take a look at the survey attached and try to send it in before the next meeting. It's a small survey to get every ones contact info and get ideas of what people want out of a co-op and how much they can be involved, etc.

   The next meeting is this Sunday 6/7/09 @ 7pm. It's on Ave 58 where the Farmer's market is held. The address is on original message. Tell anyone you think might be interested. We hope to see you there.

Pauline & Patricia Parra

Hey friends!

Here is the survey we discussed at our meeting last Sunday. Please fill it out and send it back via email. If you have trouble opening it, let us know and we can send it to you as an email. Please feel free to forward it along to anyone you think would be interested. We are so excited to get feedback and get the ball rolling.

The next meeting is scheduled for Sunday June 7th at 7pm. We will meet at the co-op and move outside to talk again if need be. It is a potluck, so bring something if you can! If you plan on bringing something, email us back so we can coordinate. Also, if anyone wants to help plan and coordinate the potluck, let us know. This might entail handing out fliers during the next two weeks and getting there a bit early to help set up.

We will discuss the survey results and allow time for working groups to meet amongst themselves. And we will place an order with Azure Standard, so try to order the catalog online before the meeting(or you can download it). there is more information in the survey document attached. We will also enjoy each others company and share food on a lovely night!
