Articles, By-Laws, and our first Grant!
The co-op wanted to give some quick updates about where the Charles River Food Co-op has been up to over the last few months of the winter season here outside of Boston.
We are currently in the process of filing our Articles of Organization with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Once filed, our interim Board will be able to vote on our set of By-Laws, based heavily on the multi-stake holder Dorchester Food Co-op and also with some inspiration from Assabet Co-op Market
Beginning to plan our a member drive for Summer & Fall seasons at local farmers’ markets
Almost official in Massachusetts!
Getting stuff done: We started a checklist based off Food Co-op Initiative’s Guide to Starting a Food Co-op and started splitting out some of those tasks…lots more to do!
A small part of the checklist for this stage of our development!
We also wanted to say thanks to the Food Co-op Initiative for their generosity for getting us into a grant to attend the Up & Coming Food Co-op Conference this April. Hopefully, our first of many!
Our first conference!
