As detailed in an email sent by the board last Wednesday, after the Medford Market Coop meeting in the Central Library last week, a local businessman approached the board with an offer of free or low-cost building space to use to help get the Medford Market off the ground.
Last night about 40 owners of the Medford Market attended a meeting at the historic Cooley-Neff warehouse at 340 North Fir Street in downtown Medford to discuss that generous offer. One of the decisions reached last night was to schedule a regular monthly meeting of interested owners. It was decided that the second Tuesday of each month, at 6:00 pm would be the best time. So, the next meeting will take place on November 11th, again at the Cooley-Neff warehouse at 340 North Fir street.
Hopefully with a regular meeting time, more owners will be able to fit this into their schedules. All topics will be open for discussion, but one of the main desires expressed by some attendees last night was to explore the idea of forming a buying club. This club would allow members to begin function as a community co-op during the time we all continue the work to get the doors of a retail store open. One of the attendees last night is currently a member of a buying club and agreed to bring information, catalogs, etc. to the November meeting.
Tuesday, November 11, 6:00pm at 340 North Fir Street. Hope to see many of you there!
