Greetings!

Building a food co-op is no small task. It will take the work of many hands to build a good basic grocery store that we can all feel good about shopping in because we own a piece of it.

It will take ideas and inspiration, some hard work, many gatherings of committed individuals, and dedication to continue the momentum until we see a completed grocery store.

Our newly elected board is currently working hard to put together the pieces of the puzzle to present a good business plan to banks this November.

You can participate in this process if you like.

To build communication, Fairbanks Community Cooperative Market is presenting a "breakfast series"  so that members can gather, learn more about their food co-op and exchange ideas.

Come to our first breakfast next week:

Organic Pancake Feed
featuring Alaskan berries

11am to 2 pm
Sunday, October 4
Ken Kunkel Community Center
2645 Goldstream Road

$10 for adults
$7 for children12 and under
Free for children  5 and under

The purpose of this breakfast series is to exchange information and ideas, as well as raise funds.

      View our power point presentation and visit with the board members.
