In Memoriam
We wish to acknowledge and honor the recent passing of Chris Bottorff, our co-worker and friend. Originally from Indiana, Chris joined the co-op as our Produce Manager in 2016 from Bloomingfoods Market and Deli. His produce and co-op expertise, strong relationship with local growers, collaborative management, strong work ethic, generous, kind, easy-going nature and infectious laugh endeared him to the co-op community at large. Chris was an avid outdoors person and enjoyed hiking, biking, climbing, camping and photography. He will be missed.

In January we are collecting change to provide free food to Pellissippi State students and employees experiencing food insecurity, during the time when the 3/4-acre organic garden adjacent to The Pantry is not producing. As food, housing, and transportation costs have increased, the number of requests for assistance have increased.

Objective: To raise $7,000 to support The Pellissippi Pantry.

BOARD MEETINGS & COMMITTEE INTEREST

Board meetings are back to being held in-person on the second Thursday of each month. The January Board meeting will be held Thursday, January 12, 2023 starting at 6:30 PM, location TBA.
