2026 Co-op General Membership Meeting

Thursday, October 29, 2026

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.
