Activities at the Moscow Food Co-op in December*<BR>* *<BR>*Art*<BR>The Moscow
Food Co-op welcomes Co-op employees and volunteers who will <BR>display their
work in the Co-op’s deli gallery. The opening reception is <BR>5:30 – 7 p.m.,
Friday, December 11, and the show runs through January 6. <BR>The Co-op employee
and volunteer art show, now in its fourth year, will <BR>include photography,
acrylics, clay, and other mediums.<BR>During the month of December the Co-op
will also have a special display <BR>celebrating 25 years of the Co-op
newsletter, /Community News/. The free <BR>monthly publication has a wide
variety of articles about the Co-op and <BR>the community. Readers will also
find delicious recipes, tips on green <BR>building, and music and film
reviews.<BR>The Co-op T-shirt Quilt will also be on display. The quilt is made
of <BR>t-shirts from co-ops across the United States. The idea was conceived by
<BR>Dr. Ann Hoyt, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Each
<BR>year, the original quilt and two others are auctioned to the highest
<BR>bidder, whose bid “rents” the quilt during the following year. The
<BR>quilts are not owned, but are shared through a rotational display among
<BR>the food co-op community for the benefit of all. Used to support co-op
<BR>development, the quilts have generated over $140,000 for the education
<BR>of food cooperative staff through the Bowers Fund.<BR>The Co-op is located
at 121 East Fifth Street in downtown Moscow.<BR>For more information, contact
Co-op art coordinator Annie Hubble at <BR>882-8537.<BR><BR>*Music*<BR>The
