Click to see larger versionAs part of the financing package for Linden Hills Co-op’s move to a new larger location at 3815 Sunnyside Avenue, we are conducting a member loan drive. WE ARE AT $1.4 MILLION in written loan commitments from member-owners. Because the co-op has made such significant progress in such a short time,our landlord at the Sunnyside site has granted an extension to the January 31 deadline. We will continue accepting and processing loan agreements for the next two weeks.

Use It; Don’t Lose It

Your 2008-09 member rebate vouchers should be used at the co-op no later than FEBRUARY 28, 2010. Spending your voucher HELPS the store, since unredeemed vouchers are lost income and not a cost savings for the cooperative—it’s your deferred discount on the purchases you made at your cooperative between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009. Enjoy!

What is a Patronage Rebate?
