Join us for chili, cornbread, and conversation at our Annual General Membership Meeting (GMM). This year's meeting will look back at where we've been — recognizing outgoing and returning board members, celebrating staff milestones, and reviewing our Ends Report and financial standing — while also looking ahead, with the announcement of this year's Board of Directors election results. Come be part of the conversation about where your Co-op is headed next.
