Box Notes - 21st March 2009

The Chippo Currency begins!

As we spoke about last night, we are launching the Chippo Dollar.

Councillor Chris Harris will launch and possibly present the Chippo Dollar at the markets (Peace Park) at 2 pm this Saturday. Please come down and support and invite some friends!

We are looking for someone who is interested in this concept, simply we need you to do two hours work amongst your community and you can use the $10 voucher for fruit and veg for now, hopefully it will move onto cafes around the area.

If you are interested please contact Michael: Michael@sustainablehouse.com.au or Daria: Dariagrove@gmail.com

Before Saturday!!

This Week in Boxes:

Following the success of Chippo Markets, we have decided to move pick ups of the boxes to Saturday. This means you can get more choice in the boxes, fresher produce and a more community angled business! Boxes will be available from this Saturday 9am at Peace Park! - please just send us an email tomorrow. Or call/contact me on my mobile: 0431712643

NB: If Saturday doesn't work for you, please let us know and we will sort something out.. Mondays may still be available.
