Help us move Meristem!
It's time for the big move! Meristem Co-op is moving from W. Dutton Street to Axtell Street on August 8th. We'd love to have our friendly "Beefy Moving Crew" join us at 9:30am to help us make the move a smooth and fun experience. We'll provide FREE FOOD and water to anyone who joins us in the labor of the day. Plus, you'll get a sneak peek at our new location!
Please RSVP to Emily if you are joining us so we know how much food to make (m_l_e_98@yahoo.com). A variety of tasks available, from heavy lifting to lunch crew and more.
