Chicago Market Newsletter - April 2019
Next Phase of Our Owner Loan Campaign Is Coming Soon!
Owners investing in their community's co-op through owner loans happens all the time. That's how we all get started! It's a special opportunity only Owners of our co-op have - the chance to invest locally and support the launch of our very own co-op.
If you made a loan in our first phase, THANK YOU! And for everyone else, your opportunity is coming this month. Let's do this!
I am thrilled to be able to invest in a community-based enterprise and support a Chicago neighborhood. Audrey Wennink Lender, Owner #772

Join our Capital Campaign team - There's still time to volunteer for our Owner Loan Campaign calling team! If you're passionate about your Co-op, comfortable talking with people about money and the reasons to loan and you can contribute 6+ hours per week (at home or at our calling gatherings), we'll get you trained and you can contribute to our success! Email Sofia to learn more and volunteer.
- Help us garden! We have a plot in GrowUptown and would love a small team to garden it for us and plan for use of that food. Who's in? Email [email protected].
