Food Co-op Effort Moves Into Second Phase

Those seeking to establish a food co-op in The Dalles are moving into a second phase of their efforts.  Ten people have been named to serve on a Founding Team for the co-op.  That group will oversee organizational efforts until the organization is established in a legal form with the state of Oregon, when an official board would be elected.  The Founding Board will also work on solidifying a vision for the co-op, and build broader community support and a membership base.  Their next meeting will be this Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. in the Northern Wasco PUD boardroom.
