As many of you know, at our last General Meeting of the Membership we concluded the vote on two proposals regarding the cooperative's potential move to a new location. For those who were unable to attend the meeting, here are the final results:

• Proposal 1: Yay-37   Nay-3   Stand Aside-3
• Proposal 2: Yay-33   Nay-1   Stand Aside-9

For those interested, meeting minutes are available in .pdf format on our website under the "membership" tab. 

This vote determined that Bread and Roses will indeed be moving into a new location at 915 Railroad Avenue. We are currently waiting on the landlord to send us a draft of the lease, as well as for some repairs to be made to the building. Moving the store from one space to another will be an enormous task, and we will need all the help we can get! This will be an excellent opportunity for any members who need to make up shifts. Keep an eye out for more emails concerning the move in the near future. 

Finally, for those who forget their cash and checkbooks when shopping at Bread and Roses, we now have a credit card machine! We require a $5 minimum purchase to use your card and still encourage cash and checks, as we are charged a small amount for each card transaction. However, we felt that this would ultimately help to make shopping at Bread and Roses a bit more convenient for our membership. We hope to see you all soon!

There are currently two proposals for an official vote of the membership. Each proposal concerns a potential move for the Bread and Roses store front to a new location. We encourage each and every active member to stop by and place their vote! Simply consult the keyholder on duty for a ballot. 

Don't forget that our monthly general meeting are now on the second Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for August 10th.

We are holding new member orientations every Saturday at 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and every Sunday at 1:00 a.m. We hope to see you soon!
