Join us for Members & Friends Networking on Tuesday, April 17 from 6:00pm - 8:00pm at Oak Creek Commons in the Community Room.
It’s amazing what we can accomplish together in 2 hours when we show up! Imagine if all of the wonderful people you know in town who are business owners or have amazing talents or products were to come together and meet each other. Imagine all of that wisdom in the room!
There will be two outcomes to this evening together:
- Each person will find at least one other person who will help them with a personal need they have related to their business, product, or service.
- All of the wisdom in the room will weave together to inform the Whole about something we did not see before related to making the Paso Robles Food Co-op a reality.
This is something a committee cannot accomplish. We need ALL OF YOU and your friends. Forward this email, share the Facebook event, but MORE IMPORTANTLY, personally invite the cleverest and most creative people you know.
Invite anyone you know who:
- Is launching a new business related to food, health, wellness, or business to business support
- Has a food-based business
- Has a service related business (i.e. accounting, marketing, PR, bookkeeping, coaching, consulting, etc.)
- Is creating products for home or health
- Is a health practitioner
- Has a health & wellbeing related business
- Is a personal chef
- Is a health coach or health educator
- Is a teacher
- Is influential and well connected in the community

Local Buying Club Forming
While we don't have a store yet, we do have 170 member-owners and tons of great local products. To jumpstart the co-op and see tangible benefits for our members, we're considering the launch of a buying club that would allow our member-owners to make specific, periodic, bulk purchases from local producers. For example, in May, we could place a bulk order for local cheese, June could be strawberries, etc. Are you interested in helping create a plan and organize, purchasing or selling your product? Contact us at hungry@pasofoodcooperative.com to get involved!
