Remember that the Redhills Online Market is now in full swing, which allows B and R members to place online produce orders that they may pick up at our storefront on Thursdays! This is a great way to get more of your grocery shopping done in one place, and we encourage all members to take advantage of it.
We are holding the next meeting of the membership on Wednesday, July 8 at 7:00 pm. To boost attendance at these meetings we encourage members to bring snacks to share and socialize before and after we go over the agenda.
Finally, the mural design submitted by local artist Echo Railton has been approved by our landlord, and so we will be moving forward with the project in the very near future. Please watch for updates on this to learn how you can participate!

Beginning January 1, 2011 we will be implementing an electronic system which automatically puts a freeze on members who are not fulfilling their required work shifts. Members who do not take responsibility for their shifts will have a hold put on their member prices, which will last until one week after the member makes their shift up. Please take the next few weeks to make certain you are on the schedule and get in the habit of calling and rescheduling prior to any shift you know that you are going to miss.
Remember, Bread and Roses has a very flexible scheduling system, which makes it easy to change a shift if you have a conflict. By being proactive and keeping up with your shifts, you are upholding the idea of cooperation upon which Bread and Roses was founded.
We also want to remind you all to make it down to the store front to place your vote on the Online Farmer's Market! Ballots are at the register. Te voting results will be announced at our upcoming Meeting of the Membership on December 14. As always, this meeting will be held in the store front at 7:00 pm.
We would like to put out a call for all members interested in getting more involved and taking a key holding position. We have a number of key holders who will be out of town for the month of December, and need more members to step up in order to maintain our current store hours! Those interested please email breadandrosesfoodcoop@gmail.com with "key holding" in the subject line.
Finally, our new neighbors at the Fermentation Market are now officially open! You can now pick up craft beer and wine next door. Bring your Bread and Roses Membership Card and get a 10% discount on your purchase there! We hope to see you soon.
