Your co-op, April 2001

Board holds breakfast forums

The second in a series of Breakfast Forums with the Board will be held at the West Seattle Store, Saturday, May 5, 8 to 10 a.m. Call Kathy Blackman, Board Administrator, at 206-547-1222 x126 for more information.

Drawing strength from our roots

If you look at a map of the Seattle area, you’ll see that the annual meeting will be held this year at a site almost exactly equidistant from our two oldest stores — Ravenna (opened in 1976 and closed this year) and Kirkland (opened in 1978). PCC has roots on both sides of the lake and in more parts of the greater Seattle area, as we know from our members, who write to us asking for a new PCC store in their neighborhood.
