Co-op Update: September 2021
Welcome to our first monthly newsletter! A lot happened in September. Here are some brief updates. We…
Set up https://watertownfoodcoop.org and started our first social media accounts
Made 20+ calls across a few steering committee members to regional co-ops, helpful folks locally, and more! Thank you if you spoke to us or helped reach out on behalf of the Co-op!
Visited to Urban Greens in Providence to see a recently opened store in action
Signed up ~90 folks to be potential members at our first ever tabling event at Watertown’s Faire on the Square. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped staff our booth!
Received a copy of Jon Steinman’s “This Could Be Ours” photo album for future booths - thanks to Stuart Reid of the Food Co-op Initiative for sending that along.
Scheduled our first Steering Committee meeting for October!
Organizers Nick & Tim at Watertown’s Faire on the Square
That’s a lot! It’s been a real busy month. We have nearly 400 people signed up on our site to be potential members - a fantastic start!
What we’d love from the community right now:
Share our website/Facebook page/Instagram!
We are seeking legal help to incorporate. If you know of a lawyer/firm that has familiarity with co-operatives in Massachusetts, please email us!
We need the community’s help to get us going. My kids are even getting in on it and made this “signup board” for our next event. How can you help us get started?
We’re going to need a few more lines than that!
In cooperation,
Nick
