2. Members found out what’s been up with your Co-op in 2018 and what is in store for 2019 (and joined the discussion!);
3. Voted for Board Members and any other motions or resolutions from the business meeting.

Members voted unanimously to approve present and new board members as follows:

• Renewed for another 2 years = John Bayley and Mark Warnick
• Starting new 2 year terms = Angie Domagalski and Josh Stolzenburg
• Continuing another year before membership approval needed = Kurt Reinhold and Peter Fiala
