Annual Meeting Minutes

Minutes from the Pomme de Terre Foods Annual Meeting: March 29, 2010

Potluck meal: We all feasted on delicious food. From earthy bread and edemame hummus – to tortilla chips and cookies, everyone brought a dish to feed the volunteers.

Reports: Patti and Nancy told us about the highlights of the year and the financial report was handed out. A comment was made about the high advertising expenditures from last year. Last year we spent $2,349.68 on advertising; that includes free samples, donations to events and newspaper ads.

New Board Members: In lieu of Margaret leaving, we have three new board prospective board members. Connie, Naomi, and Marjorie all want a position on the board. They would make a new total of seven active board members. A motion was made by Richard Torgusen to adopt the three new board members. The motion was seconded by Margaret Kuchenreuther and passed.

Ideas: A request was made for ideas on how to increase membership. This transitioned into the discussion of committees. There were sign ups for the committees: a finance committee, a marketing committee, a volunteer committee, and a misc. committee (yet to be decided).

Emergency volunteer sign up. Patti requests that there be someone who if willing would be on call during store hours for last minute cashier fill-ins. Talk to Patti if this would work for your schedule.

New recipe cards are on display in the store and if you have a recipe that you would like to see featured talk to Patti also. Patti’s email is manager@pdtfood.org

We had a great year. Thanks to all of you that came and thanks for supporting the Pomme De Terre Food co-op!
