Membership News - December, 2008

-- by Naomi Jackson, Membership Coordinator

Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped prepare our new space. We're embarking on a new and exciting era in the history of Hampden Park Co-op!

As we expand into the new space, we will of course need more volunteers. We’ve already added 1½–hour cleaning shifts to the weekday morning and evening calendar. More shifts will be added in the coming months.

In the midst of all the change, some things do stay the same. In December, all volunteers need to fill out a new Rolodex card and pick up a 2009 wallet card. Cards and information will be available at the cash register. If you have questions about the card changeover process, feel free to ask a cashier or staff person.

For all members, this is a good time of year to check whether the co-op has your current information. Did you turn 65? Ask for a senior discount card. Did you move in the past year? Make sure we have your current address. Are there more or fewer adults in your household? Let us know.

And, something new: We are now offering a 10% discount four times per year to all non-volunteering shareholders. In order to receive the discount coupons, make sure we have your current mailing address, and use your wallet card when you are shopping. If you don’t use your wallet card, you end up on our “inactive” list and won’t receive mailings.

Questions? Contact me at the co-op, or leave a note in the Membership Coordinator envelope in the entryway.
