Membership News - August, 2008

— by Naomi Jackson, Membership Coordinator

Many changes are underway at Hampden Park Co-op as we transition to a larger space. One that will affect non-volunteering members is that we will now be offering four 10%-off coupons each year. All pink card shareholders are eligible to receive these coupons. (Note that there is no discount on some items, such as hot soup, eggs, and milk.)

However, in order to receive your discount coupons, you need to be on our mailing list. If you never use your shareholder card when you are shopping, or you have moved and not given us your new address, you may be on our "inactive" or "lost address" list. If you have not received any mailings from the co-op in the past couple of years, you may be on one of those lists.

How do you get on the co-op mailing list? Fill out a New Card/Address Change form (available at the checkout counter) and leave it in the Membership Coordinator envelope in the entryway. You will receive a new shareholder card, and your information will be updated in our computer. Use your card whenever you shop.

Discount coupons will be sent out twice a year (two coupons per mailing) in conjunction with our annual meeting and Mayfest mailings. So, don't toss those postcards in the junk mail pile. They can save you money on your grocery bill!
