<BR><B><O:P> </O:P></B> <BR>The Moscow Food Co-op’s new <I>A Dime in
Time</I> program will support local, non-profit organizations. Co-op shoppers
currently receive a 10-cent discount when they use their own bags or coffee
cups.<SPAN> </SPAN>Customers now will be given the option to donate the
dime to a featured monthly organization. <SPAN> </SPAN>Each month a new
group will be awarded the donated dimes, which at this time add up to
approximately $600 every month. <BR><O:P> </O:P> <BR>The Latah Trail
Foundation was selected to be the first recipient of money raised through the
program. <BR><O:P> </O:P> <BR>“We are thrilled to be chosen for this
program and will put that money to good use by making improvements on the Latah
Trail,” said Nora Locken, director of the Latah Trail Foundation.
<BR><O:P> </O:P> <BR>The Latah Trail, a paved pathway between Moscow and
Troy, Idaho, was completed earlier this fall. <SPAN> </SPAN>Cyclists and
pedestrians in the region can now enjoy 22-miles of paved paths connecting Troy,
Idaho and Pullman, Wash. <BR><O:P> </O:P> <BR>Local groups interested in
receiving future awards can submit a grant application found on the Co-op’s
website (</FONT></FONT><A href="http://www.moscowfood.coop/"><FONT
