August Expansion Meeting

Tuesday, August 21st

7:00 PM

4-H Log Building by Community Center

 

As we get closer to finalizing plans for our new store, we decided to have another Expansion Meeting to unveil the new store plans and layout and answer questions about the Owner Loan Program.  We'll be nearing the end of our Owner Loan Drive so we will be pushing to reach our goal of $600,000.  Stop by the meeting if you would like more information about the new store or if you have questions about our Owner Loan Program.  If you can't make it to the meeting, feel free to stop by the store anytime to ask questions about the project or the Owner Loan Program.

Owner Loan Progress

We're making progress with our Owner Loan Program! We have 200,000 in loans and pledges. We still need $400,000 to reach our goal. Please consider lending money to your Co-op. Call us at 218-387-1939 if you have any questions or would like an Owner Loan Packet mailed to you.

Four Season Mosaic Mural

The Cook County Whole Foods Co-op, along with mosaic mural artists  
Kelly Dupre and Jana Larson,  have been working on a plan to  
respectfully deal with the mural that now graces the north wall of the  
Co-op building.  The present co-op building is scheduled to be  
demolished in October to make way for a new facility. Upon careful  
examination by several knowledgeable tradesmen, it was determined that  
the wall the mural is attached to would not withstand the stress of  
either being moved in its entirety or having major construction going  
on around it. After much discussion it has been decided that the mural  
should be dismantled in pieces.  As the design process for the new Co-
op continues it is hoped that parts of the mural can be incorporated  
into the new construction.  It is also possible that pieces would be  
moved to other locations around the community.  The Co-op is committed  
to help support the mural project financially and it is hoped that  
more funding can be generated through a citizen campaign.
