Thank you for taking some time out of your simply gorgeous Saturday afternoon to check out what was going on at 524 Church Street! Guests enjoyed tasty treats, exceptional coffee-- straight from the roaster, the acoustic sounds of local artists Marty Perron and Karen Pogorzelski, and wonderful conversation. Meanwhile, the kid's kept busy with Sherry (from Creations at Cedar Street Bridge) at the craft table-- creating tissue paper flowers, solar systems, and glitter projects galore! A BIG thank you to all who attended and contributed!
As part of the event, the Six Rivers Board members conducted a brief overview of how the market is doing and discussed a few changes on the horizon! A financial report was available for interested guests, if you would like a copy of this report please send us an email request. Simply put, the initial funding (that has served as a bit of a cushion to the market) raised during the beginning stages of our community cooperative, has about run dry. All this means is that we must now operate solely based on sales-- which has always been the ultimate goal of the market. Our members have really made such a valiant effort since the move-- proving that the market truly is of value to them, and the community as a whole. So, THANK YOU! Let's keep that momentum rolling...
As for the changes... I have decided to redirect my role within the market and will be stepping down as Market Manager. My hope is to stay involved with Six Rivers as a volunteer and member of the board.
I am leaving my current position in great hands! Thank you, Meadow, for stepping in to fill this role once again. Meadow Summers will be taking over the management responsibilities beginning in April and until we find that perfect candidate to permanently fill the role-- someone with a deep passion for local food and the drive and dedication to keep the momentum moving forward.
I have thoroughly enjoyed running the market this past year, and really appreciate the amazing opportunity! What a wonderful group of individuals— from the tireless work of the producers to the incredible support of our members— you are what Six Rivers is all about! I also want to thank the Board, for all their hard work behind the scenes, and Kendra for being such a volunteer ALL STAR-- I appreciate it!!!
