To keep this event a safe and fun place, we ask that you only bring friendly, well-behaved dogs on leashes and please clean up after them. We want the children who attend our event to have a safe and happy time too, so we ask that they not be allowed to climb the trees or the Crepe Myrtles. Lastly, please enjoy the fountain from its perimeter. Thank you for your help in making this event safe and fun for everyone.

| Maple View Ice Cream - Carrboro - Go get your own! |
I made a quick trip today at lunch to check out the new Maple View Ice Cream store in Carrboro across from Weaver Street Market. The lovely smell of waffle cones greeted me first - then my eyes popped at the black and white checkered floor with the candy pink accent seating. As I waited my turn, trying to decide what to get - cone, cup, float, sundae, or split - I saw that the flavors of the month are Root Beer and Chocolate Chip. I was very tempted to get a sundae when I learned that they will make them in waffle bowls. Decisions, decisions, but finally I opted for a large waffle cone with two of my favorite flavors, Coffee and Clay's Croonin' Crunch (a caramel mix named for Clay Aiken). Back at the office I had to tell my co-workers just what I'm going to tell you, "Go get your own!"

| Board Meeting: Changes to the Ownership System |
The Weaver Street Market board of directors met last week to continue their discussion of changes to the ownership investment system. After last month's board meeting wherein the task force presented their work creating a values and limits statement, the board worked their statement into policy,and Weaver Street's management team worked to actualize a new system that meets the task force's expectations and the business' needs. Staff is discussing the first draft of the new system now, and we're anxious to get feedback from consumer owners. Some highlights of the new plan are an increase in share price with a decrease in the initial investment (to remove barriers for lower income persons to join the co-op) and switching to patronage rebates to allow owners a greater say in the use of the business' profit and to protect the business from potential financial hardship.All owners will receive detailed information in the mail early in June. (Click here to send us an email to update your street address.) We will hold forums at the end of June to discuss the proposal, as well as solicit feedback on our website and in the stores. |
