SUMMARY:Board Bylaw Revision Information Session
DESCRIPTION:The Board is excited to present new Bylaws for Owner approval during the next election in September! Are you interested in learning more? \nView our FAQs or join a Zoom info session July 26 at 6pm and August 26 at 11am. \nOur hopes are that the new Bylaws will be used by future Boards to better represent our Owners\, serve our community\, and develop a sustainable future for our Co+op. With full transparency in mind\, here are some highlights of what the new Bylaws will be enacting: \n\nThe proposed Bylaws use more straightforward language than our existing Bylaws.\nThe proposed Bylaws specify that Member-Owner voting will happen via ballot\, and are updated also to include electronic voting.\nThe proposed Bylaws clarify that the Board can include up to two Staff Owners.\nThe proposed Bylaws include gender neutral language to support our Co-op’s commitment to inclusivity.\nThe proposed Bylaws include some updated language that allows the Co-op to manage Patronage dividends more efficiently.\n\nThe Common Market would not exist without its Owners\, and we are so appreciative of your care and involvement in our Co+op’s success. \nTopic: The Common Market Co-op Bylaw Revision Information Session \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81464501561?pwd=OXdLcUlvdnVMU0VhVTYxTHdrbFZDZz09 \n  \nMeeting ID: 814 6450 1561 \nPasscode: 776413 \nOne tap mobile \n+13017158592\,\,81464501561#\,\,\,\,*776413# US (Washington DC) \n+19292056099\,\,81464501561#\,\,\,\,*776413# US (New York) \n  \nDial by your location \n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) \n+1 929 205 6099 US (New York) \n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) \n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) \n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) \n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) \nMeeting ID: 814 6450 1561 \nPasscode: 776413 \nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kes33xytI0

SUMMARY:Compost Happens! [Free; Online; RSVP]
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the average American household wastes about a third of the food it purchases every year? Join us as we examine ways to put your trash can on a diet- even during the holiday season!  We’ll learn about the benefits of composting and ways to prevent food waste. Composting is an easy DIY activity that makes a big impact on resource conservation in your local community\, AND\, helps reduce methane and carbon emissions that contribute to global climate change.  We’ll show you how simple it is to compost at home\, whether you live on a tiny urban lot or in the rural wide open.  We’ll answer all your questions\, offer tips for success\, and ensure you can compost with confidence! \nAdditionally\, if you see this in time\, the Frederick County Division of Solid Waste and Recycling will be selling compost bins throughout September.  Miss the sale?  Not to worry.  In class we’ll discuss bins you can make or buy!
