Updates from the Wasatch Cooperative Market

Update October 9, 2009

Dear Community,

A big THANKS to all those who were able to attend our Member-Owner Drive Kickoff Meeting! It was a huge success and it feels great to be off and running! Thanks to each of you and the support you've shown. Even more exciting—we now have our first group of founding member-owners!

Based on the barrage of emails we received on kickoff day, we know many of you weren't able to make the meeting, but still want to be involved. So, to fill you in, on Wednesday we were happy to share that all the mechanisms are in place for you to become a founding member-owner and for us to get this co-op off the ground! A Member-Owner Class A Unit costs $300.00; that investment will go immediately into our startup reserve and will help us to reach the next phase, including location search, feasibility study, and most importantly, marketing and outreach. Also, keep an eye on the website for upcoming member-owner drives and opportunities to help us in our recruiting efforts. Lastly, we have posted our newly adopted Bylaws on the website at www.wasatchcoop.com/bylaws.

We’ve set an ambitious goal to open doors in April of 2011 and that means there’s no time to waste. Go to www.wasatchcoop.com/application to download your Founding Member-Owner Application, and send it in with your check payable to:

Wasatch Cooperative Market, LCA
P.O. Box 4303
Salt Lake City, UT 84110

Thanks for being a part of building the Wasatch Cooperative Market. Go co-op!

Cooperatively yours,
Board of Directors

Update September 18, 2009

Hello Community,

We have two big announcements!

1. We are officially incorporated as Wasatch Cooperative Market, LCA! This is a significant milestone in the development of the cooperative because it allows us to kick-off the initial ownership drive.

2. To do this we have solidified a date and location for the next community meeting--Wednesday, October 7th from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm (doors open at 5:30 pm, presentation starts at 6:00 pm) at The State Room, 638 South State Street.

There will be more details to follow concerning the community meeting. In the meantime put it on your calendar and tell your friends! We intend to have more media exposure in the lead up to the meeting as well, so be on the lookout for more stories about the cooperative.

Thanks for your support and we look forward to seeing you at the ownership drive kick-off on October 7th, 2009.

Cooperatively yours,
The Board of Directors
