Master massage therapist offers discount to Co-op members

Take $20 off any one hour, first time medical massage with massage school Director Larry Heisler, M.A., LMT, or for any of our other services with any of our other wonderful teacher practitioners. Read about us at www.newjerseymassage.com

Philosophy: As we get older our muscles get harder, shorter and colder, eventually settling into our body pattern and determining how we move in space for the remainder of our lives. Can you say frozen in time. I’ll tell you what I say “Rigamortis sets in way before your die,” and medical massage addresses your soft tissue complaints and frozen muscular gait with great Deep Tissue, Myofascial and Neuromuscular Trigger Point massage work. It breaks up the rigamortis, unfreezes your connective tissue and activates your Acupuncture Energetic System. Pain, stiffness, poor circulation, inflexibility be gone!

Bernardsville Trial Baskets are now available online.

New Sorter wanted

One of my longest held sorters recently got a new job. I am looking for someone who would like to work sorting produce every other Tuesday from about 11:30 to 2, for a Basic Basket. Please call or email me if you are interested.

Enjoy!  Marnie

The Book is Out!

The book is out!

I've been published! I'm a published scholar now! In fact, two MSU classes are using it as a textbook this semester! It sells for about $35 on Amazon, so I don't suggest buying it. But if you do, I'd be happy to sign it for you. :-)   I do suggest reading my chapter, or all of the book. The book is called "Taking Sides: Clashing Views in Sustainability" Edited by Robert W. Taylor. I wrote chapter four, Does Sustainability Mean a Lower Standard of Living.

24 Hours of Reality 

Tomorrow WEDNESDAY, Sep 14th, will be a 24-hour worldwide marathon all about the reality of the climate crisis. Around the world, from New York City to South Africa to the Solomon Islands, people will use the power of the Internet to present their stories of living with climate change, and make clear the connection between extreme weather and the corporate carbon pollution that's changing our climate.

All the presentations, which will be in multiple languages, and in every single time zone, will be streamed live at ClimateRealityProject.org.

Enjoy!

Please Read!

I’m very excited! The Co-op soon will be changing over to an application where the members can control their baskets and payments online called CSAware. The software is owned by Local Harvest, which many of you know. I have found them to be a tremendous asset in running this co-operative. 

Here in the beginning, you will have the choice to stay as a cash or check paying member, or switch over to CSAware. With CSAware, all your payments, except the last minute refrigerator decisions, will automatically be made by credit card each week, and you can add, change and cancel baskets in your private members account.

I have been working with the CSAware team and the website is almost complete. For ease of set up we will ask each of you to claim your membership online in the next few weeks (you will receive an email invite from CSAware). If for any reason, you have trouble with the site, you can always email or call me and I will correct the problem.

Choosing to move to this automated system, removes the guesswork from the billing. I will no loner need to send out emails asking if you paid because there is loose cash and no payment record from you. I also will not have to spend hours each week inputting the payments, and can spend that time on other aspects of the co-op that are demanding attention.

Again, If you would rather stay with paying by cash or check, please feel free to stay with the present system. CSAware is not hooked in to the website yet, but will be soon. So stay tuned!

Co-op Vacation!

Co-op vacation weeks will be August 16th and 23rd. We will have no baskets those two weeks.

Enjoy!
