WSM’s Board of Directors declared the co-op’s fifth patronage dividend for consumer and worker owners. Though the return is modest, 7,917 consumer owners who spent at least $492.60 during the past fiscal year will receive a dividend with a percentage-off shopping coupon around October 15th. Another 7,804 owners who made purchases during the fiscal year but did not qualify for a dividend distribution will receive an email with a percentage-off shopping coupon.
Your dividend distribution will appear as a store credit on your owner share. You can redeem it at any store. You also have the option of donating all or part of your dividend distribution to the Cooperative Community Fund.
Dividend reports and appreciation coupons were mailed on October 14. If you haven’t received your report and coupon by Monday, October 19, please email your owner number and current address to brenda.c@weaverstreetmarket.coop.
An appreciation coupon was emailed to owners whose purchases did not meet the minimum requirement and to owners who joined the co-op after the fiscal year ended in late June. If you did not receive the appreciation coupon, please email your owner number and contact information to brendac@weaverstreetmarket.coop.
Appreciation coupons are good through Tuesday, November 10.
Dividends can be redeemed through January 31, 2016. Unredeemed dividends are donated to the Cooperative Community Fund.
