Community Kitchens CLASS & WORKSHOP SCHEDULE

JULY // AUG // SEPT Registration Begins June 3, 2014

www.northcoast.coop 1

Welcome

Welcome to Our Community Kitchens A Note from Outreach Coordinator, Lauren Fawcett

W

e are excited to announce the return of the quarterly cooking class schedule and a new on-line registration system! Registration will be much easier to navigate and you will find some new and wonderful features, such as seeing how many seats are available in classes, the ability to register using gift certificates, and more!

Classes will no longer have separate prices for members versus non-members; instead, Co-op members will receive 20% off of classes. When you see the price of the class in the schedule, subtract 20% if you are a Co-op member and that is your price. While this is slightly less of a discount for some classes, we have had to do this for our new registration system. However, we think the new features will make it well worth it! We appreciate your understanding during this transition.

When registering, members will enter their first and last names with their Co-op member number. Example: janedoe12345 (with no spaces). The 20% discount will automatically be applied since the system knows that you are a member. So easy! If you’d prefer to register by phone, just give me a call at (707) 443-6027 ext. 102 and be sure to mention your Co-op member number to receive the 20% discount. You can also register at Customer Service in either store location and recieve your member discount. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing your feedback on our new and improved registration system and quarterly schedule.

Co-op Members receive a 20% discount on all Cooking Classes and Workshops.
