Citrus is winding down, and berries haven’t started in earnest.  But mangoes fill the gap quite tastily. The Mexican Ataulfo is piney sweet with very little fibrousness A related variety, the Francique, comes from Haiti tasting musky sweet. - Travis, Produce Manager

 

The board's most significant accomplishment in 2008 was the completion of a multi-year undertaking to rewrite our governance policies, culminating in the adoption of the following Ends Statement:

Seward Co-op will sustain a healthy community that has:

  • Equitable economic relationships;
  • Positive environmental impacts;
  • Inclusive, socially responsible practices

The Ends Statement gives clear definition of our purpose and demands that our success be measured not only in financial terms, but also on the health of our community. - David Hoffman-Dachelet, Board President

Bylaw Amendment Update
The recent bylaw amendment, which proposed the allowance of electronic voting in co-op elections, passed by a wide margin. A total of 259 members voted in favor of the amendment, and 9 voted against it. Thank you to all who took the time to vote.

The amended bylaw (with the additions in bold) will read:

Section 4. Voting. The Board of Directors may authorize a mail ballot or voting by electronic means for voting on all matters that members are entitled to vote upon, including voting to elect directors. If authorized, mail ballots or ballots for voting by electronic means shall be sent to all members with the notice of a meeting. If a ballot is received on or before the date of the meeting, it shall be accepted and counted. There shall be no proxy voting. Voting by electronic means requires that the association be able to authenticate that it is the cooperative member who is casting the vote.
