Owners Gathered June 25th for a Discussion about Recommended Bylaw Revisions
On June 25th, SRFC hosted an Owner Forum. Thank you to the owners who helped to organize this event, and those who attended. At the Forum, a number of important issues were raised surrounding the Board of Directors recommended bylaw changes. We discussed their implication on our co-op, expansion plans, owner participation, and other general concerns. Please visit http://www.sfrcforum09.wordpress.com for complete notes on the forum. You can also browse the recommended changes, and leave your comments. What do you think about these changes? A follow up Forum will be held Thursday, August 13th. We need volunteers for this event! Please e-mail amanda@syracuserealfood.coop if you are available to help make phone calls about the forum, set up for the event, or clean up after the event.

Tell Congress what you think about GE foods!!!
Here at the Co-op, we have been dedicated to providing safe, clean, and healthy organic and natural food to the Syracuse Community for over thirty years. We have done this according to cooperative values that ensure equality of all people, and democratic control of our business. We believe that access to safe, healthy food is a global human right. A Senate bill introduced to increase funding and and food security in developing countries (Global Food Security Act) also requires that foreign agricultural development aid include investment in genetically engineered (GE) crops. This effort to fight global hunger and poverty would force GE crops on countries and farmers that don't want them. You can read more about this at the Center for Food Safety, including a protest letter to congress. Comments due by June 1st, 2009!Labels: community, democracy, environment, farmers, news, updates
