Pendergast:
Co-op Is Vital

I'd like to thank all the people who've been coming in to the Randolph Co-operative Market in the past weeks. I've enjoyed meeting you, sharing ideas and making good things happen.

However it's become clear that the skills I bring to the table are not broad enough to encompass the needs of the Co-op today, and so I am stepping down as general manager.

But that doesn't mean I am leaving the Co-op. This market is bigger than one person, one group, or even the town it is the sum of many hearts, minds, hands … and mouths. You (and I) must continue to shop there to keep the shelves stocked and bring down the prices. You don't need to be a member to shop there, but you get a discount if you are. It's easy to join, and your investment will pay you back over time in healthy foods, more choices and a better store.

I am happy to have made the acquaintance of so many good people, and hope to see you at the market soon.
