Food Coop Orientation

Anyone know when they might restart orientations? They apparently stopped doing them because of ongoing construction in the meeting room.

Yes - I am considering joining.

Actually visited the office and got a bunch of blank stares back at me when I asked my question.

Welcome to the co-op.

Oh forget it people. I think I'll just join the Barney's Coop.

The office is staffed with a mix of members and paid workers. There are no special requirements/tests for getting the office workslot, so...there is no guarantee that the person you're talking to is...sane/smart enough to know when to ask for help.

Maybe try calling the office during a time when they usually run orientations. The members there at that time would be the ones who usually staff the orientations and might be a bit more in the know. Per their website, orientations were every Monday and Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m., every Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m., and every Sunday at 4:00 p.m.

Just give them a call, you'll find someone who has the answer.

Thanks Toadette and Slopehead. I will check back in at the office in a couple of days.

too much weed.

Orientations resume when the contractors finish. When we ask the contractors when they will finish we get blank stares, too much weed, et al.

PSFC will post on website and twitter as soon as the job is done and orientations resume.

don't forget to look pretty on your orientation day. i had no warning that would also be ID photo day...

middle of june, i heard

oh, if only you knew how PC I really am!

I thought somebody would respond politically correct.

Thanks for the info folks.
