Did you miss our 2023 Annual Meeting? We had a great time at Iron Furnace Brewing in Franconia, who generously offered to host our gathering this year. Everyone loved the pizza and beer!
Highlights on this year’s agenda included special guest speaker Derrick Samuels of Genuine Jamaican, who regaled us with hilarious and heartfelt anecdotes from his experiences building his locally-renowned brand of hot sauces and seasonings. We also presented the second annual Cooperator of the Year award to Tim Wennrich for all of his efforts to reduce food waste and promote local agriculture in our region. And last but not least, we presented a “Big Check” to Veterans 2 Veterans Group, who were selected to be this year’s recipient of the proceeds earned from our ever-growing Community Fund. We also heard facts, figures, and reports from our Operations Manager Chris Whiton, and a review of all the ways we cooperate from our Community Outreach Coordinator, Becky Colpitts. We then wrapped up the meeting with a Q&A session and a door prize.
Big thanks to our Board of Directors for organizing this event, and to all the Members, employees, and candidates who attended. We had a great time!
