Cornwall Farmers Market
Brought to you by the Cornwall Community Co-op
On the lawn at the Cornwall Town Hall
Wednesdays
11:30am to 5:30pm
Now through October
Our annual meeting will be held on Thursday, February 17, 2011, at 7:30 pm at the Cornwall Presbyterian Church, 222 Hudson Street, Cornwall-on-Hudson. We hope all Member-Owners will attend! We’ll start with a potluck dessert before we get down to business. Please bring your favorite dish!
As a Member-Owner, it’s important that you stay informed about the state of your Co-op. We’ll provide an overview of our operation at the annual meeting. Since we closed the Harvest Market last fall, you may be asking yourself: “Why pay your membership dues this year?” Because a Member:
- Believes in the Co-op’s mission of increasing the accessibility of local, wholesome, ethically produced products
- Supports local farmers
- Spreads the word about the important role local foods play in a healthy lifestyle
- Supports the organization that brought the successful Cornwall Farmers’ Market to your community
- Sustains the organization that screens films like “Two Angry Moms,” a film about bringing healthy school lunches to communities like ours
- Enjoys the 10% discount offered to Co-op members by Blooming Hill Farm
- Benefits from cooperative buying like our Thanksgiving turkey orders and the beef buying club with Kiernan Farm
- Wants to be a part of a community-building group with like-minded members
We know these are important values to you, and likely why you became a member in the first place. Stay involved by renewing your membership, and know that your $25 dollars is going towards great cooperative action, like continuing the Cornwall Farmers’ Market by funding the salary of the Market manager.
Board of Director and officers will be elected at our meeting. Member-Owners are also needed to serve on various standing committees. Every one of us has a skill that can benefit the Co-op. Please volunteer!
We look forward to seeing all of you on February 17. If there are ways in which we can better serve you, please bring your ideas, and share them at the Annual Meeting.
Do you want to get more involved in the Co-op? Would you like to help shape our direction as we enter our third year? Then join the Board of Directors! We have open positions on the board. Board members serve a three-year term, attend monthly board meetings, and are active on committees. Interested? Please contact Claudia Depkin at claudiajd@yahoo.com.
Thank you!
