Uploading Files to SCoop
There are certain file types that WordPress will not allow you to upload. For example Microsoft Publisher will not upload to this blog. If you find that you cannot upload a document, simply convert the document to a PDF file. It’s usually good to save documents as PDF anyway, since Acrobat is pretty universal.
Educational Presentation at Washington Square Co-op
Ellen Russel from the Kalamazoo Farmer’s Market will be providing a educational/wellness presentation on August 28, 2012 at 2pm here at Washington Square Co-op. She will be sharing information with the members regarding the secrets of growing herbs and keeping them as well as valuable information regarding the farmer’s market!! (The wonderful thing about our local farmer’s market is that it is within walking distance of our co-op.)
Ellen had some incredible ideas for activities for the members. She suggested growing herbs in the garden and making pesto for personal use, as well as gifts. Ellen also revealed the notion that members could grow flowers, dry them and provide for holiday potpourri gifts as well. I will be sure to share her other ideas as well!

Co Guardianships
A Service Coordinator asked a question about what to do when a member has two guardians.
IF the member’s (resident) guardianship papers do not say that “guardian A” is responsible for “X” while “Guardian B” is responsible for “Y”, then the Service Coordinator should ask each of the two guardians how they want the Coordinator to handle requests for sharing of information or other requests that members or residents have to sign before Coordinators can serve them. Attorney Kathleen Graham of Wayne Co. Neighborhood Legal Services answered this query.
