Arroyo Food Co-op: Elections, Open House and Meeting

A flurry of activity is happening at the Arroyo Food Co-op, the locally and sustainably focused market that held its first open house in Pasadena last month. 

The market was originally visioned for Altadena but after about five years of planning and trying to find a market site in the area, the Co-op leased the former George’s market space on North Wilson Avenue.

The Co-op hopes to open in the fall.

Elections

Election for five of eight Arroyo Food Co-op board members is happening now and ends Thursday. You can read their candidate statements here.

Members are also being asked to vote on one ballot proposition regarding a proposed Policy for Resolving Members’ Product-Related Concerns. An overview of the proposition is at the bottom of the page here. A PDF detailing the full policy can be read here.

Only active Co-op members can vote in the election, which is taking place through the online ElectionBuddy system. Become a member or re-up if you can in time to ensure you will be sent the link to cast your ballot. 

Co-op Annual Member Meeting/Open House
The co-op will be holding their annual all-member meeting on Saturday May 18 at the Co-op. As with past years, it will be a pot luck so bring a tasty dish to share. They will also be announcing the results of the 2013 elections.

People can also take a tour of the store if they missed the last open house.
Saturday May 18, 2 p.m.-4 p.m.
Location: Arroyo Food Co-op (494 N. Wilson Ave)
