memBer-owner Announcements

by Yevette Buddeau

Rolling into September we can think about what’s to come in the “Ber” months. September through December hold some traditionally warm experiences as the temperature cools off. I wish comfort to all as we move toward the Brrr in the ‘Bers.

Some announcements that have been requested are as follows. Please wear your mask. Wear it over your nose and mouth. If your mask does not fit right and droops chronically to reveal your nose then please choose another one. The CDC does not recommend wearing a face shield as a replacement for a mask, so if you wear a face shield then you will also need to wear a mask.

We have plenty of cloth masks for Staff and Member-Owners who are on shift; stop by the service desk to ask for one if you need a new one. Thanks to the group of MOs who have been tirelessly making these masks for the Co-op! We also have disposable masks and packaged masks for sale.

Our Co-op features many positive and constructive qualities and we aspire to keep an atmosphere of respect, tolerance, equality, and inclusion. With all that we are experiencing, we may have moments when we feel taxed and stretched to the limits. Please be mindful of your words and actions in our shared space. We’ve been asked to reaffirm our commitment to treat each other with respect and dignity. Take a moment and breathe that in. Thanks.

Speaking of shared space, we sure hope to see more and more people at the Coop as the time goes by! We miss you tremendously! MOs who are thinking of coming back to do hours may reach out to the departments they are interested in helping. Shifts and tasks have changed in some instances, but please reach out to see where you can fit. Many departments have space. See our website for contact info for the departments or contact Yevette at memberservices@honestweight. coop. We currently need help out front as a customer counter at the store entrance. This person helps make sure there are a maximum of 50 people in the store at a time, so we can all shop and work in a less crowded space. To sign up for a shift as the counter, reach out to DanH@honestweight.coop or StephenQ@honestweight.coop.

We lost one of our lifelong friends and local activists this past month, Rezsin Adams. She will be missed deeply by many. Please take a moment to read this article in the Times Union about her, and get yourself involved in the movements that speak to you! Our condolences to those
