Perfect for a social gathering before our meeting. Please bring your own cup for the chili tastings to help us be more eco-friendly and create less trash.

Our General Manager, Killian Geeslin, will present his report on store operations and activities. Other reports will be presented by Board Chair, John DeSaix; Finance Chair, Caroline Ahern; and, Membership Chair, Julie Harner.
8:30 – 9:00pm: Q & A Session.
Chili Cook-off & Cake Bake-off Details:
The Chili Cook-off and Cake Bake-off will begin at 6:30pm and promptly end at 7:30pm. Please bring your entries, along with an ingredients card for your chili, just prior to the start time. Do not add your name to your ingredients card as voting will be “blind” taste testing. Upon arrival, please check in with one of our volunteers so we can assign a number to your chili or cake (blind taste-testing). A $50.00 gift card to the Co-op will be awarded in both categories for the entries with the most votes before the meeting starts. Also, in an effort to reduce waste, we encourage you to “bring your own mug” for the chili-tasting portion of the evening.
