** Welcome to Happy Family Co-op’s Info Site! **
We’re so glad to meet you. There are few cooperatives in existence in the Richmond area, and we are thrilled to be in our 6th year (2009!) of ordering, eating, and working together to support companies we love and trust, save money, and promote organic and natural foods/products. (now if we could only help United create a hybrid diesel truck!)
This blog site was created to help all members navigate the cooperative process of ordering and splitting case goods, keep track of important dates, refresh themselves on policy and procedure, and locate their pdf* instruction manuals for United’s online ordering system (New* in 2008!)
Please take the time to review ALL posts on this site and to post any comments you feel might help clarify or improve them. This site is not intended to replace face to face communication between you and your host member (the person/family who brought you to Happy Family), and most questions should be directed to them unless they specifically have to do with your order during a given order/delivery cycle, dues payment and price list/catalog subscription updates.
Please mark your calendar for our upcoming quarterly meeting (see post for dates!) and be sure to keep your yahoogroups! incoming email preference on “individual emails” so you don’t miss out on important updates or messages from the group. Join our YAHOOGROUPS! site, where we split case goods, use group email, and post our contact information (and a few recipes!) ~ once there, click on “Join This Group” and follow steps to create your profile, set email preferences, and submit info be approved. You are required to join Yahoogroups! to become a member of Happy Family Co-op.
If you would like to volunteer for a computer job, host a meeting at your home, or otherwise offer your services beyond ordering and delivery, please post that to the Yahoogroups site!, as ongoing group “conversation” will continue to happen there.
Once again, WELCOME ABOARD! and happy “co-oping”!
xx
