Special Bike-Helmet Discount Available

Hampden Park Co-op is partnering with Bicycle Benefits to put more helmeted bicyclists on the streets. Cyclists can buy a sticker for $5, stick it on their bike helmet, and display it for a 5% discount on purchases. The discount is available for non-members or non-working, non-senior members.

The sticker discount isn't available to volunteers or senior members, but we are happy to sell you a sticker if you would like to support this pro-helmet effort. Inquire at register #2 at the co-op for more information.

News From the General Manager

by Kari Neathery

It has been two months now and I have really enjoyed meeting with so many of you at the store and at the annual meeting. To my surprise I have learned about the joys of soy in its many forms! The lime- marinated tempeh sandwich and the tofu curry soup are my current obsessions.

New board members

Welcome to our new board members, Ed Morales, Brian Corner, and Matt Hass. Each of them brings unique skills and talents to the governance of the co-op and has already contributed to the work of the board. They have expanded our knowledge in the areas of board development and social networking, so look forward to increased communications via Facebook, Twitter, and our web site.
