I'll be going on a local radio station (WCHL) later this week to have this
commentary played. I think it illustrates exactly why we need to have
this event in North Carolina & events like it across the nation
this weekend, and
why unseen support is dangerously close to no support at all.
The Weaver Street Market Board of Directors will meet Wednesday December 17 at 201 North Greensboro Street downtown Carrboro at 6:15pm. The Board will seek to answer the question posed in last month's meeting: "How bad can it get?" This is regarding the negative cash flow in the last fiscal quarter.
In the last fiscal quarter, the worker-owners did not receive a dividend. Consumer-owners receive a dividend as a point-of-sale discount. Is this fair?
Basically, if you own a share in the Co-Op, this is the one Board meeting you need to attend! Contact WSM BoD Chair J. Myers at coffee_bar@weaverstreetmarket.coop to inform him you will attend (meal provided by Panzanella Restaurant) and to receive an emailed copy of the meeting agenda.
As noted on the Endangered Pedestrians thread, Chapel Hill is testing an "exclusive pedestrian" traffic signal phase at the Columbia (NC 86) & Cameron intersection, a configuration of traffic signals and pedestrian "walk" displays that will allow those on foot to cross in all directions at once, including diagonally across the street. This video (also below) demonstrates such a crossing in Los Angeles.
