This is one of those “perfect storm” situations. Everything went wrong in the timing of the August issue of the Co-op newsletter.

First, our designer and editor were expecting to be on vacation.

Second, the Co-op Annual Report needed to be included in the newsletter so it would be available for members at the Co-op Annual Meeting. However, the annual meeting is scheduled for August 30, a few days before the September issue was expected to arrive at the store and too long after the August issue was printed.

Sigh....

We resolved all our dilemmas with a combined August/September issue. That combo issue will arrive at the Co-op about August 20. There will be no September issue.

The October issue, and the others to follow, will arrive on schedule.

You will be able to pick up your August/September issue at the Co-op as usual, or at the Co-op Annual Meeting. That meeting will be on Sunday, August 30, from 5pm to 8pm, at the 1912 Center in Moscow. The Co-op will provide a taco bar meal, at no charge to members. One World Cafe will offer beer and wine for sale. After prolonged mingling and munching, expect a year-in-review discussion and slide show.

If you wonder how the Co-op is surviving the global financial meltdown, or if you just like free tacos, this party is for you.
