Two ways to become part of co-op history

The relocation is proceeding (beautifully! hectically! stressfully! gloriously!) We're in the midst of making co-op history, and we want to be sure we don't forget how historic this is, and how many people came together to make it happen. So there are two things we'd like you to do.

The first is to send us a photo! We'd like to make a photo collage of people who've in any way helped with this relocation, from digging holes to building walls, making loans and donations, doing demolition work, buying equity, telling their friends about the co-op, carrying boxes, etc. Don't be shy! Send your digital photos to Meagan at meagan@commonground.coop, or drop prints off at the store. We'll also be taking pictures at opening day. We want a beautiful collection to help us all remember this move and the people involved.

We've also set up a local (to Urbana) phone number: (217) 689-4223. We'd like you to call that number and leave a message (or many messages) describing what you love about Common Ground, why you are excited about the move, what good food and community and cooperation means to you, or just anything that comes to mind. We'll take those voices and make an audio collage, which will be available on the website and in the store.

Please help us capture who we are, visually and aurally! 17 days to go!

Thanks,
-Clint
