The Co‑op would like to announce our upcoming Membership Referendum. Voting in Co‑op referendums is one of the ways that members are empowered to participate in the Co‑op’s democratic process.

The purpose of this referendum is to approve the appointments of Jason Campbell, Aquaus Kelley, and Gio Occhipinti to the Co‑op Board of Directors, and to amend certain parts of Article I of the Co‑op’s Bylaws.

The voting period will run from Sunday February 25 through Saturday March 9, 2024.
