A Water Box: Sapha Alkaline Water Dispenser

New at Tidal Creek Coop: 24 hour access to fill-your-own alkaline water! Our new “vending machine” dispenser is set up conveniently outside the store near the elevator, offering 1 – 5 gallon fills of high Ph, alkalized, reverse-osmosis water. The machine only accepts credit cards or prepaid cards and is in operation all day, every day. $2 a gallon quenches your thirst and promotes healthy living. If you’re planning to reap the benefits more often, we sell Sapha Water Cards at Customer Service at discounted rates for bulk purchases. Just ask an employee for more information.

June Owner Drive

As we kick off celebrations of Tidal Creek’s 30th Anniversary, we thought, “What better way to celebrate than with an Owner Drive?” So here you have it! All new and renewing Tidal Creek owners in the month of June will receive a Tidal Creek jute reusable bag. If you’re a renewing owner within 30 days of account expiration, you’ll receive a discount coupon based on the number of years you’ve invested in Tidal Creek. Did you know that you could receive a 10% discount coupon just for referring a new owner to the Co-op? Talk to your friends about ownership, tell them to reference you when they become an owner, and we’ll send you a coupon in the mail! A $30 annual equity payment is all it takes to support your local Co-op business, participate in democratic ownership, share in profit surplus, and receive fantastic benefits and savings. Celebrate Tidal Creek’s 30 years and become an owner today!

Board of Directors Call for Candidates

Your Board of Directors is in the process of determining where the Co-op will be by the end of the next ten years and beyond. What a great time for you to get involved! We need people with proven leadership skills who can work in a team, to understand the implications of these findings and use them to develop an appropriate long-term plan. Although we can’t individually ask all 3000 of you to run for the Board, we can call on you, meet you for lunch or coffee, and tell you more about the work, the time commitment, and the valuable contribution you can make to Tidal Creek Co-op and the broader Co-op community by your service. Please feel free to contact any of the current Board members if you would like to know more about this exciting opportunity. Board applications are available at Customer Service, so let’s get started!
