The Market is Open

Happy Father’s Day and happy new week! The market is open on this bright, sunny day.

This week, I have a brief request. There is a great deal of activity that occurs behind the scenes with ALFN. As a mediator between grower and consumer, ALFN serves to disperse information, maintain the market website, pay growers, and provide quality local food to growing local demand. ALFN has a board of directors who volunteer their time to guide the organization toward a sustainable local food system. Composed of growers and consumers, board members have many different responsibilities. One of the most important tasks is the work done by the treasurer. Our treasurer ultimately is the rain gauge for determining the germination rate and success of all the ideas planted and cultivated over the years. In the end, sustainability is accounted and confirmed by our treasurer.

The treasurer position rotates to able-minded individuals who are willing to help ALFN. Our current treasurer, Michelle Rhoden, has down a fantastic job and her period of service will be ending this fall. It is our desire to find a new treasurer with a background in accounting to come alongside Michelle and learn the system for a smooth transition. The board is currently looking for individuals who would be interested in this task. Could you help us in this search? If you or anyone you know would be interested, please email us and let us know! You can email us at littlerocklocalfood@gmail.com or arlocalfoodnetwork@gmail.com .

Please consider your social networks and help us find a new treasurer!

Thanks!
