This board is the founding board to get the co-op off the ground. Please remember that once the co-op is up and running, we will have the "official" governing board elected by the members. There are currently three female members and seven male members. 

As long as everyone accepts these volunteers as our founding board, then we are ready to move forward. The board hopes to have a board meeting as early as next week to discuss several important topics: incorporation, bylaws, member structures, feasibility study and fundraising/funding options to pay for the feasibility study. It is our hope that after the board meeting we can have a steering committee meeting to give better direction to the sub-committees. 

There will be a lot of need for volunteers in the community to make the East End Food Co-op a reality. This task is a lot work, but will be such a huge benefit to the community that the rewards far outweigh the struggles we will have to get this off the ground. Everyone is busy and this process can seem overwhelming. Any bit of volunteer time you can give is hugely appreciated by the co-op!
