We send out a newsletter each week about the goings on at the co-op and we try to keep our members informed about their investment.
The newsletter isn't just for members, we always highlight what new products are in the store and what's about to sell out. We go for the "folksy charm in the city" angle whenever possible which is easy to carry off since our writer is from Martin County Minnesota and spent 10 years in Chicago before settling down just a few blocks from the co-op.
The average delivery day for the newsletter is Tuesday. Usually it's sent out between late Monday night or Wednesday afternoon, depending on the volunteer writer's schedule that week.
Past newsletters can be seen in the Store Blog. Savvy co-op members have noticed that the beginnings of the newsletter start appearing in the blog throughout the week.
