Back to School Lunch Ideas
sigh... It's that time of year again! I'm trying not to think of the 360 lunches I will make this school year for my 2 kiddos. I'm sure many of you moms and dads are thinking about the same thing. We do a lot of eggs, cut up veggies and dips, muffins that I get from the co-op. Here are some links that have helped me and I hope they can help you too.
Wishing everyone a great first week back to school!! Oh, and don't forget to put a reminder on your calendar to pick up your items on Wednesday. I know the first few weeks back are hectic and if I didn't run the co-op I might forget too :-)

Wild Caught Seafood
If you ordered VitalChoice seafood (except sardines) it will be at pick up this Wednesday. Sardines will arrive the following week. I'll send a reminder!
There are still some limited seafood items available from last week's list group buy so if you forgot to order you didn't miss out.
PLEASE HELP! Volunteers Needed at pick up!
We need 3 volunteers on August 15th!
Please consider volunteering during market pick up. I can’t run the co-op without your help! Shifts are 1 hour long and go by really fast. It's a great opportunity to meet fellow members!
THANK YOU Kristen, Michele, Chuck, and Erika for volunteering last Wednesday! We couldn't have the co-op without our amazing volunteers!!
