PILSEN FOOD COOP GUIDELINES

MEMBERSHIP
Member households will be those who sign the membership contract form and pay the deposit, which shall be $15 for the first adult in the household and $5 for each adult thereafter. An adult is defined as anyone 12 years old, or older. New memberships must be approved via the email mailing list.

DISTRIBUTION
CO-OP order distribution will be held every fourth Wednesday from 6:30pm-7pm at Lincoln Methodist Church, 2009 W. 22nd Place, unless otherwise designated. People without other assigned tasks should help sort all the products into piles of individual orders before leaving. That helps prevent mistakes and distribute work.

MEMBER RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES
Each household is responsible for volunteering to do CO-OP tasks. There is no paid staff for the CO-OP. If you have no regularly assigned task, it is your responsibility to regularly contact people who do and offer to assist. That way we ensure that everyone understands the operation of the CO-OP and work is fairly distributed.

See other rights & responsibilities.

GENERAL MEETINGS
A general meeting of the membership will be held every six months. The purpose of this meeting will be to review progress and discuss changes if necessary.

NORTH FARM CATALOGS
The catalog is available by subscription directly from North Farm, but the online catalog is also pretty good and it's search tool is easier to use to find specific items.

ORDERING
Email or send the following information to the Collator by the ordering date (usually a Wednesday).
1. List your name(s) and phone number(s)
2. Each item you order should be on a separate line.
3. Each item should have:

A. The stock number
B. The quantity
C. Either "CS" for case or "PC" for piece.
4. If you want a second choice "alternate" item in case your first choice is out of stock, discontinued, etc., please list this item right after the first choice item on the same line after the word "ALTERNATE:"
5. If the item you are ordering is being split with others by pre-arrangement, start that item line with the word "SPLIT:" As decided in our meeting, all splits are handled mutually between members-- I do not do any reconciling. Therefore, please make sure you have coordinated your splits with other members so the item totals equal whole case numbers.
6. If you want to make changes after you have already emailed your order, please resubmit a corrected complete version and indicate "Updated Order" in the subject line.
7. You do not need to include pricing or descriptions. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DOUBLE-CHECK YOUR STOCK NUMBERS!

Please send feedback to the webmaster.
