The Tempest Lounge, 913 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way, Tacoma
Join us Thursday, July 17, when the nascent Tacoma Food Co-Op sponsors our monthly Green Drinks gathering. This month we’ll hang out at The Tempest Lounge, 913 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way (www.tempestlounge.com), in Tacoma's fabulous Hilltop neighborhood. Green Drinks will precede the co-op's fundraising event at People's Park (opposite The Tempest) on Saturday, July 19.
Food cooperatives are customer-owned businesses that provide grocery items of the highest quality and best value to their members. The Tacoma Food Co-op will be a retail grocery store committed to consumer education, product quality, and member control. The member-owners of the co-op will support local family farms and be an anchor in the community for awareness and education on all things related to health, sustainability, and consumerism. (Yes, the folks from the co-op reassure us that it is possible to be responsible consumers.) Their home on the web is currently being constructed and can be found at www.tacomafoodcoop.com.
The co-op steering committee has just completed incorporation, is putting the finishing touches on the bylaws, and has a formal membership structure that will be outlined in detail at their big July 19th event. Folks from the co-op will be available at Green Drinks (and again on the 19th) to answer your questions, concerns and suggestions.
