W

e hope you are enjoying the return to the quarterly cooking class schedule and the new online registration system. For the last six

years I have worked in the capacity of Community Kitchen Coordinator

I have thoroughly enjoyed this rewarding adventure and am delighted to announce that I have accepted a new position here at the Co-op as our Prepared Foods Manager. While it is exciting to embark on this new chapter, I will sincerely miss interacting with so many of you on a regular basis but look forward to staying in touch. Thank you for being a part of our Co-op Community Kitchen experience!
