The Arroyo Food Cooperative's 2010 election results are in and audited. Thanks so much to Agnes Gottschewski and Christine Frank for their help in tallying the votes. Details of the results are in the "Results by Voter" document but here are the highlights...
- The bylaw change: passed
- Alexandra Ferry (Berrie): won
- Ginko Lee (a write in candidate): won
- Joseph Shuldiner: won
- Kelly McCune: won
- Kristin Petherbridge: won
- Lillian Montalvo (a write in candidate): won
- Patrick Reagan: won
- Zoubeida Zajac: won
A total of 36 ballots were returned (about 26% of the 139 mailed). Members have been sent voter reference numbers so they can verify their votes in the "Results by Voter" document. Two ballots were returned by the Post Office because of addresses issues. One came back in time to offer the person a new ballot.
Thanks to everyone that participated! And thanks to all the candidates that now are our new board. The progress we've made so far is exciting and the prospects of the future are even more so!

139 Ballots -- does that mean that the Ginko Challenge was met?
Thanks for bringing this up. There was mention of the Challenge completion on our home page for a little while (and I believe in at least one email sent to everyone).
But to clarify: The Ginko Challenge was started early in March when we were at 92 members. We cleared the goal of 125 in the middle of April. This was our first attempt at such a membership building tool and we got a good response. We’ve learned a few things and are working on setting up the next challenge.
More on that soon hopefully.
