Fall Co-op Dates

Fall co-op dates have been approved.

We will kick-off the semester with a picnic at Altizer Park on August 25th. Please bring a dish and drink for our potluck lunch and a folding card table if you have one. We are outgrowing the picnic shelter but since Altizer is the perfect, central location, we'll make due by putting the food on card tables and leaving the picnic tables for us to sit down. The festivities will begin at 11:00am.

Co-op classes will begin two weeks after the picnic and continue on alternating Tuesdays. The dates will be:

• September 8 and 22
• October 6 and 20
• November 3 and 17
• December 1 and 15

Announcements are at 10:00am. Classes run from 10:15 until 12:45. Following classes, we'll have lunch and playtime in the gym.

Please put these dates on your calendar. You don't want to miss any of the fun!
