Check out the Co-op’s new website at www.hudsongrocerycoop.org!
 
Base on a tip from HGC’s Treasurer Sarah Atkins who recently had her business website for CavClear redesigned by Christi Cardenas’ company The Web Peeps, the board decided to move forward with a redesign of the HGC website.
 
While the old website, created by previous dedicated volunteers, contains a lot of great information and has served the Co-op well, time, as well as technology, marches on. As the Co-op grows so does the need to grow HGC's website.
 
Christi’s comment about the HGC website says it best, “The goals of the website are to 1.) Inspire Ownership, 2.) Inspire Owners to Become Involved (Volunteer/Committee Work), and 3.) Serve as a Resource for the Community. Your site is your calling card and, really, a virtual media kit. You’re providing value to your community and to prospective and current owners with the amazing content you had already created. It’s just presented a bit differently now. Your website is a way to give back to those that have already stepped up as well as attracting new people.”
 
Take a few minutes to check out the new website.
 
And by the way, that wonderful content doesn’t just happen. It takes a community of Co-op owners and volunteers who are willing to share their talents. Please consider helping, we are in need of article contributors for the website blog and Beet newsletter. If you would like more info or have questions please contact Jacki Bradham at rbradham@pressenter.com or 715-386-3826.
 

HGC will host an Owner Drive on Tuesday, September 29 at Kozy Korner at 708  6^th Street in North Hudson. The event starts with a 6:30 p.m. mixer and a 7 p.m. presentation.
 
We have two drawings to win a gift certificate for an HGC ownership. The certificate were donated by HGC owners Joan Schoenoff and Laurie Bergren.
 
Current HGC owners are encouraged to invite their friends and family who may be considering and HGC ownership to attend the owner drive and learn about HGC.
 
You can learn more and RSVP on Facebook. Whether or not you are able to attend, please share our event with your Facebook friends.
 

Are you an owner who is looking to become more involved and feel you have much to offer the HGC?  Consider running for the Board of Directors!
 
As a Director you will have the satisfaction of serving a growing organization that will provide the community with healthy products and education. You will have a voice in the shaping of the future for the co-op while working with a group of people who share a commitment to a democratic process and a sustainable local economy.
 
As we move into the next years of growing the Co-op the Board is seeking directors with knowledge of finance and capital campaigns as well as marketing and increasing our ownership.  Please contact the Co-op directly at hudsongrocerycoop@gmail.com for more information or find the application on the HGC website.
