Survey:
Tell us what you think about local food and the Company Shops Market
co-op... and help a Senior at Elon University complete her capstone
research project at the same time.
My name is Clementine Wall and I am a Senior anthropology
major at Elon. This semester I am researching local food in
North Carolina for my senior capstone project with Dr. Tom
Mould. Specifically, we are looking at local participation in
community endeavors like the Company Shops Market.
Below is a link to a short survey that asks questions regarding
your participation in the Company Shops Market. The survey will
take you approximately ten minutes to complete and all responses
are completely anonymous. If at any time you feel uncomfortable
with a question, you may move on the next without answering.
The results from this survey will be used both in this
academic work at Elon, as well as made available to the Company
Shops Market Board to help them in their work in the community.
Thank you for your time and your commitment to the Company Shops
Market.

Interesting Tidbits:
Smith Family Foundation invests $50k:
The Smith Family Foundation has recently loaned the co-op $50,000
through the Community Investment Note Program. This is an exciting
boost towards our goal of opening the co-op this year. Thank you!
If you are interested in joining the Smiths and 90+ individuals and
organizations who have already become Community Investors, visit the
investment page of our website for more information, including
the
Prospectus.
We Have a Brand New (White) Roof:
The Company Shops Market building has a brand spankin' new roof. If
you have driven by the building recently, you have probably noticed
the bright and shiny white roof. We chose to go with a white roof
because in our climate, a reflective white roof can save as much as
15% on energy and cooling costs.
This is an example of a simple way to incorporate "cool roof" green
building technology into a project with little or no added costs.
The co-op will be saving money on the cost of cooling the building
for decades because we had the forsight to choose an energy-smart
roof color. This is a choice that is smart both environmentally and
financially. You might be interested in reading
this article about white roofs published in the New York Times.
Our New Ownership Brochures: Give one to
someone you know!
 Calling
all Owners! Each of you should have received a letter in
your mailbox this week that included two copies of our new ownership
brochure. Please consider giving these to someone you know who
might be interested in Company Shops Market.
Great progress is being made behind-the-scenes towards opening the
co-op this year, but we need the your support as ambassadors to the
community, as investors willing to loan the co-op money, and as
volunteers. Please help us spread the word about the co-op to people
who may not have heard about us. Please contact us if you would like
additional brochures to give to local family, friends, and
neighbors.
Reminder: We Have A New Mailing Address:
Post Office Box 848
Burlington, NC 27216
Any mail received at the Elon post office box will be forwarded on
to the new post office box. The clerk at the Post Office said she
couldn't wait to have a grocery and cafe downtown and that it was
about time we opened a Burlington PO box! - and she's right.
