MEMBERSHIP BUILDS

To date, the Co-op has over 250 shareholders representing a wide range of communities:

from our New Hampshire towns of Littleton, Lyman, Lisbon, Franconia, Easton, Groveton, Warren, Dalton, Jefferson, Bath, North Haverhill,  Twin Mountain,  Thornton and Durham; to our Vermont neighbors in Lyndonville, Monroe, Norwich, Waterford, E. Burke and Concord.  The Board is pleased and grateful for our community support and is anxious to commence a vigorous fundraising campaign once the store location has been secured.

TOWN OF LITTLETON ENDORSEMENT FOR CDFA GRANT

MEG ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. APPOINTED EXCLUSIVE AGENT

The ink is still drying on the agreement between MEG Asset Management, Inc. of Londonderry, NH,  and the Littleton Co-op that appoints MEG as its Buyer's Agent.

 Brian Morrriseau, President of MEG, has extensive experience in the supermarket real estate field and has also been employed by a number of New Hampshire entities including DHMC and Dartmouth College.  His expertise and creativity will assist the Co-op Board in the process of structuring and negotiating an offer on the preferred location.

PROJECT ENGINEERING

As work proceeds on securing the site, the Board initiated contact and has received a proposal for engineering services from Horizons Engineering of Littleton.  The contents of the proposal are being refined so that the Co-op will be prepared to step directly into the engineering phase as soon as the property is under agreement.

CO-OP BY-LAWS

Several months of research and writing has resulted in the final copy of the Littleton Consumer Cooperative Society, Inc. By-Laws.  The multi-page document defines the parameters of governance, business practices, membership, capital, distributions, meetings, board members and their duties under which the Co-op will operate.  The ratification of the By-Laws is a necessary piece in securing grants and financing, so the Board will be asking members for ratification soon.

HANOVER CO-OP

The Littleton Board continues to receive invaluable support and advice from the Hanover Co-op. In the true cooperative spirit, they have made themselves available to review, comment, and guide the Board on all aspects of the process of bringing the Littleton store to life. 

As the Board works toward securing the location, efforts are also underway to create an army of volunteers to work on the major fundraising drive that will begin shortly.  If you have expertise in this area, or want to contribute your energies in any way, large or small, please use this website to let us know how and what you can do, and a committee team leader will be in touch with you.

We know you're anxious to hear the news...and the Board promises that as soon as those tricky "I"s and "T"s are dotted and crossed on all the paperwork, the news of the Littleton Consumer Cooperative location will hit the streets!
