LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Lake County Community Co-op will host its annual gratitude gathering on Saturday, Sept. 17, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Tuscan Village in Lower Lake.
The third annual gathering marks a momentous occasion for the organization with the formal adoption of bylaws and election of board members.
Members of the co-op are encouraged to attend to help officially co-create the organization and special recognition will be noted for local organic producers that supply the co-op, as well as drop point hosts that serve as the nine pick up points throughout the county for co-op members.
“This organization has helped strengthen our local economy and food system by purchasing almost $80,000 in local and regional produce and value added products since the buying club started in 2008,” noted Co-op Board member Janine Smith-Citron. “Acknowledging and honoring that is so important.”
Community members are invited to attend the festivities, which include a harvest potluck brunch, live eclectic acoustic music by Travis Rinker, the annual report and a vision forward for the coming year.
Co-op members must be in good standing (annual fees paid up to date) in order to vote for the bylaws and elect board members.
Members wishing to serve on the board may contact Janine Smith-Citron at 707-413-9028.
To view the bylaws and ballot, and for more information on the co-op, go to www.lakeco-op.org, or call 707-993-4270.
The Lake County Community Co-op was organized in 2007 in response to community desire for a resilient and sustainable food system. Its efforts in community include sponsoring the Friday Night Farmers' Market, the community garden effort at the Highlands Senior Service Center and the “Lake County Community Co-op Presents...” education series.
