Hello Kate, Heidi and Greg;
This is Loren from the Port Townsend Food Co-op and we wanted to let you know about two upcoming events that you all might be interested in in attending, and possibly sharing about with
your community.
January 23 and 24th we are hosting Jon Steinman for two special sessions. Both sessions will be the same so choose the best date that works for you.
Details are below about both sessions; they are free to attend, and light food will be provided at both.
Registration is required and will close 1 week prior to event, so please don’t wait to the last minute.
Thank you and we hope you can attend.

Special Evening with Jon Steinman—Inspiring Champion of Grocery Co-ops
Please join us on either January 23 in Port Townsend or on January 24 in Chimacum for a very special evening with Jon Steinman, author of Grocery Story: The Promise of Food Co-ops in
the Age of Grocery Giants. Jon is an inspiring speaker on co-ops, as staff and board members who have attended his presentations will attest. For our event, he will give a short presentation
on “What is the Food Co-op Future” and then he will facilitate a cooperative dialogue on “The Ever-Changing Food Co-op.” Jon describes cooperative dialogues as a forum where all voices
are of equal value, an opportunity to engage in democracy at our co-op. It’s a chance for people who love the Co-op and our community to talk about where we are going next and what
community means today.
We’re putting on the event twice, once in town at the Northwest Maritime Center and once in Chimacum at the Finnriver Cidery, to give more people an opportunity to attend. The events
are free, but you must register ahead of time, so we know how many people to provide snacks for. As a bonus, we’ll be giving away a Food Co-op bag of local goodies at each event!
