Harmony’s General Membership Meeting and Board of Director’s Election
On October 28th the membership gathered at the United Methodist Church meeting room. Harmony’s staff prepared a fantastic tex mex dinner for our owners and it was a wonderful chance to see familiar faces and a few new faces as well. Board treasurer Mary Overlie led a great discussion on ways Harmony could strengthen the community’s connection to local and organic foods prior to the start of the official meeting. The question is also posted to Harmony’s Facebook page so if you have some ideas head over to FB and post on our wall.
During the official meeting board, general manager, and treasurer’s reports were given, as well as a demonstration of our new web site. Owners were encouraged to sign up for Harmony’s newsletter (which you can do at the bottom of this web page). Director’s election results were tabulated and announced. Elected to three year terms were Judy Boorman, Bridget Stomberg and Ryan Zemek. Judy and Bridget were appointed to fulfill vacancies on the board earlier this year and Ryan is a new member. Congratulations to our newly elected directors!!
Thanks to everyone who came out to do the important work necessary for our organization. Hope to see you all next year!!
Welcome to our New Site
Harmony’s Board of Directors would like to welcome you to our new space that we will be using to keep you, our owners, up to date on our organization and board activities. On this site you will find information on our monthly board meetings (see our Calendar), a log of our meeting minutes, and a monthly post by a board member about an issue the board is working or a topic of particular interest to the organization. You can also contact the board directly by using our contact form. Our board administrator will receive the email, and will forward it to board members. We look forward to this opportunity to serve you, and to represent you more effectively!
Harmony’s Frozen Department received quite a boost from the expansion. The new freezer units are beautiful, huge and easy to use. It was even easier to fill them up with all of our already popular staples and the great suggestions from our very involved shoppers!
