The change of seasons brings changes at the co-op, too. We have a new general manager and we’ve hired some new storekeepers. Our annual meeting was much earlier than it has been in the past, in an effort to expand member participation on the board and on board committees.
Fall means that many of last year’s student volunteers have moved on, leaving many volunteer positions open for new arrivals. If you’d like to become a volunteer at Hampden Park Co-op, buy a share of stock for $30 (a one-time purchase), and sign up for volunteer orientation on the big bulletin board in the entryway. Volunteering is fun, and it gets you a discount on your groceries and giftware.
