Tables for: 1, 2, 4 or 6 Maximum 30 people - numbers are strictly limited to ensure a good conversation and exchange of information
This is an information and discussion evening. It will help us decide how to take the next steps to set up a food co-op that will be able to supply all of Chippendale's food needs, cut climate change, buy from local farmers and support local businesses. The information may be used to help you buy food from farmers and set up your own food arrangements anywhere.
We will hear from Robert about:
- the legal framework for Food Connect and how the business has grown in three years to over 900 boxes a week and a weekly turn over > $38,000
- how to ensure the co-op cannot be bought by a chain store
- the design of the box packing system
- how equity and money and decisions are made and achieved
- some fundamental things to aim for eg the co-op is not for sale
- how Food Connect finds and sustains relationships with over 60 farmers
You'll be amazed at what Food Connect has achieved in Brisbane: www.foodconnect.com.au

This could be a great tip to
This could be a great tip to start especially for the new comers. Everyone needs some extra earning opportunities – everyone from working singles, working married people, single mothers, everyone. An easy way is to make money online – some sites will pay for original written content, or you can try your hand at affiliate marketing, or trying to generate income by referring people to products or services. Some websites help you create your own affiliate sites – Hostgator and Doteasy are two, but Hostgator only makes services available for paying customers and pays less for referrals. (Then again, if you can successfully refer customers their fees won't send you running for payday loans.) You can generate a nice little side income with affiliate marketing, if you don't leave the good work undone.
