The Co-op celebrated our 2016 annual owner dinner on October 7th at the ARC Pavilion. This year’s event was the best attended owner dinner in recent memory, with more than 140 owners, friends, and family arriving to enjoy each other’s company. The Co-op kitchen prepared a wonderful meal comprised of savory appetizers, a sumptuous selection of entrees for every dietary persuasion, and toothsome sweet-breads for dessert.
The meeting itself consisted of three sections. The night kicked off with Natalie Carter, the President of the Board of Directors, speaking to the Board’s vision for the Co-op and the unique rewards of serving on the Board. Second on the agenda was Liza Tedesco, the General Manager, who delivered a stirring and informative State of the Co-op address. The final section of the meeting was an open forum where Co-op owners came on-stage and shared personal memories they had formed at the Co-op. Some stories were funny, some sweet, and all spoke to the enduring impact the Co-op has had on our community.
