MARKETPLACE • COMMUNITY • CELEBRATION

From KimberlyAgreements … this is how we do

things at Saturday Market. As I listened to members talk

to each other this week about the agreements they have made to one another in this intentional com-munity, and the importance to their neighbors and Market as a whole of they themselves honoring these agreements, I saw a glimpse at once of both the past and the future of this Market.

We understand what it means to be in this together. We understand that each of our individual actions matter, even if at times, we have managed to convince ourselves oth-erwise. We have built up this market with care and through intentional actions and thoughtful use of our word. WE is the key.

Have a wonderful day,Kimberly

Thank You for the Goodies!Fifty Market members donated

enough Mother’s Day goodies to make seventy folks very happy last week at our giveaway. Thanks to all who generously gave, so many customers were thrilled with their prizes!!

No Load Out Parking on Oak St. until 5 PM

Do not pull up into the Oak St. load out lanes before 5 PM. The crew needs to use that lane to roll up the green fencing along Oak St. They start at about 4:50 and try to be done by 5. When you park be-fore 4:50 you cause a potential safety hazard, and impede the crew’s work schedule which ultimately costs the Market more money. Thanks for your attention to this.

Sell at Tuesday MarketAs a Market member, you are

welcome to sell at the Tuesday Farm-ers’ Market. To get a space, find Kimberly near the Farmers Market Info Booth on the East Park Block by 9:00 AM on Tuesday. The daily fee is $8 plus 10%, all booths are 8x8. Hours are 10-3.

There is no free parking on Tues-

days. Tuesday Market has a sepa-rate point system that is not related to Park Blocks or Holiday Market points. Please bring your own change.

Committee CornerThe Holiday Market commit-

tee met on Wednesday. They re-elected Paula Marie Gourley and Alan Pointer as co-chairs. They also reviewed the Holiday Market ap-plication postcard and vendor in-formation. There are a couple of important changes. First, the cards will be mailed out around June 23 and have a return deadline of July 20 for Booth Holders of Record. Second, you will have 48 hours af-ter Vi contacts you to choose your space, or one will be assigned. These changes will facilitate the booking process, and make it easier for new vendors to get a space early enough to do good planning.

Meeting this week are the Leave of Absence Task Force on Tuesday at 3:30 PM and the Standards Com-mittee on Wednesday at 5 PM.

What is the Street Team and why does it keep cropping up in the Saturday Market newsletter?

We are a group of Market ven-dors that want to increase the suc-cess of Saturday Market as a market-place and community. We aim to do this by finding out how the Market is seen by the public including our customers, out-of-town visitors and those who never step foot in the market. This information will help us to create promotional projects that draw more customers for all of us and encourage new membership. We always welcome new members, ideas, suggestions, energy. Our next meeting is May 26, 12 – 1:30 at Sat-urday Market of-fices. If you want to know more you can speak to Colleen Bauman at Dana’s Cheese-cake, Heather Robbins-Hinton Booth #150 or

Kim Still, our Saturday Market Pro-motions Manager.
