The
Renaissance Coop
Committee is calling on its
supporters for June 4
|
The
Fund for Democratic Communities is working with the Renaissance Coop Committee,
providing them technical assistance as they develop their plan to open a
community owned cooperative
grocery store on Phillips Avenue in Northeast Greensboro. The following
email was sent by the RCC Steering Committee. Please consider supporting
their
efforts!
Will
we see you join us
on June 4 at City Council?
The
Greensboro City Council is expected to make key decisions about the future of the Renaissance Center and our community at their June 4 meeting. Will
you join us and stand up for the coop?
The
Renaissance Center is the first item in the General Business Agenda, but is the 37th item scheduled that night. If you want to speak on the item, make sure you arrive
at 5:30pm
and place your name on the list. You will not want to miss our
excellent Steering Committee members who will speak about the future
of the center and our community!
Bring
a
book and snacks and settle in for the long haul. Or, watch the meeting
on the public access channel on TV, and come on downtown when it's
getting
closer to the time for our item to be heard. You can also follow us on Twitter or Facebook. We'll be sending updates throughout the meeting announcing progress through the agenda, and letting folks know when the
time is right to come on down to City Hall.
Your
support continues to be critical to the success of this effort. See you June 4th at the Melvin Municipal Building, 300 W. Washington
St. You can park for free in the Municipal lot at Eugene and Washington. Enter the building on the Plaza side.
