The Market Day Fund-Raiser

At last the Market Day Fund-Raiser for Local Roots Co-op is about ready to begin. We can begin now to place items on order for pick-up on Market Day (Monday). Here are the highlights:

• We hope that our first Market Day will be April 7th. Orders should be received by the preceding Saturday.
  
• We need to procure a commercial refrigerator before then to satisfy the health department.
  
• One can place an order online, by email, or by dropping it off with us. Online ordering can be accessed by going to www.localroots.info and selecting Fund-Raiser. There one can view our catalog, or download it as a PDF or as an Excel file. Pressing the Order button will take one to a Login page. Members and Shareholders will have their Username and Password sent in a separate email.
  
• For those who have not yet done so, become a Member so that you can participate: $20 is enough. One can make manifest one's support with a membership this way; and can later switch to a non-working membership, if that is desired, after the Co-op opens.
• This will allow people to support us without spending any more than they already would to obtain their necessities.

It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to participate in this Fund-Raiser. Take stock of what you already have to buy at the grocery store, and place your order with the Co-op. This way you can GREATLY enhance the Co-op's financial capital necessary to meet our start-up costs without any additional expenditure. Simply meet your needs through the Co-op, and you will have given it a vital means of support. It will thereby blossom from a dream into a living reality.
