New Local Vendor: Rasdal Pita

Hey Everyone,

Annual Meeting Nov 14th 5pm and Board Recruitment

Hey Everyone,

We’re popping out a quick note so folks can save the date for our upcoming Annual Meeting November 14th at 5pm. The Annual Meeting will be happening over Zoom so if you’d like to attend please email marshrivercooperative@gmail.com or stop in the Co-op and ask at the register and you’ll be added to our list to send the link out when it is available.

We are continuing to recruit new board members as well, we encourage anyone that might be interested to reach out to volunteermarshriver@gmail.com or stop into the Co-op. We are currently looking like we’ll have between 5-6 seats filled but we could have up to 9 individuals to help spread out the workload for the rest of the individuals and staff members. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has worked hard either by being on the board, working with committee’s or generally volunteering around the Co-op!

And thanks to our wonderful art department who put together this cut out right at our door! I keep thinking I have someone in here when I’m working at night…..

New Board Members/Volunteers Needed!

Hey Everyone,

We are starting to plan for our upcoming Annual Meeting and we are reaching out to our community to see if we can recruit some new board members/volunteers to help with the day to day operations and steering of the Co-op!

The board is currently performing all of it’s duties through email or through a once monthly Zoom meeting (there are other committee meetings throughout the month) so if you have any interest and you’d like to check out a board meeting our next one is scheduled for October 12th at 6:30pm. If you’d like to attend please reach out to volunteermarshriver@gmail.com to receive an invitation or if you have any questions. Follow the link below if you’d like to see what our board requirements are.

MRC Board Expectations

We’d love to have some new faces in our meetings. We have some very dedicated folks on our board right now but we are always looking for ways to improve our processes and the state of the Co-op. We’d also like to take this opportunity to offer our gratitude to our current and former board members for their hard work and time which has made it possible for this little Co-op in Brooks to continue to grow!

Pumpkins

Hey Everyone,

Just popping out a quick note that we got our first batch of pumpkins for this year (It’s a bit early but I think everything is this year). These were grown using organic practices by one of our members children!

Co-op Volunteer and Item Request and New Items List

Hey Folks,

It’s time for a new item list as well as we are looking for a few things for the Co-op so we figured we’d put them out to the universe;

We are looking for someone to meet one of our deliveries at the Belfast Co-op Parking lot on Fridays between 9:30am-10am typically. Our regular volunteer is unable to do it after the end of the month so we thought we’d ask.
We are also looking for a new vacuum cleaner and stereo (or cd player only) for the Co-op. Both of ours have gotten to the point where they are giving us trouble so if anyone has any used ones they are willing to offload we would greatly appreciate it.

If you are able to help with either of these items please reach out to volunteermarshriver@gmail.com!

And without further adieu please find our new item list below!
