The Official LAUNCH of APPEAL's "Black Saturdays" CO-OP with Freedom Paper Company

You're invited to the Official LAUNCH of APPEAL's "Black Saturdays" CO-OP with Freedom Paper Company, on January 2^nd, 2016. 

The APPEAL CO-OP will commence every 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month, between 2 and 5pm at The Umoja House, 2015 Bunker Hill Rd, NE, Washington D.C. 20018, beginning January 2^nd, 2016.  Current members of APPEAL will have the opportunity to purchase FPC products at reduced COOP prices, while others in the community also have the opportunity to purchase the products at slightly higher rates.  We will start the COOP with products produced and distributed by Freedom Paper Company, including bathroom tissue, paper towels and facial tissue. Soon, other Black owned and operated manufacturers and producers will be incorporated into the CO-OP. 

The purpose and goals of the collaborative include:

• Changing our spending habits to begin practicing commerce with each other together.
• Supporting Black owned and operated manufacturers and producers by increasing their customer base.
• Supporting a network of Black owned and operated manufacturers and producers.
• Raising funds to support APPEAL initiatives, including start-up costs for the credit union.

Current APPEAL members, please bring your APPEAL membership cards to facilitate COOP activities.  Current APPEAL members who do not already have their card can pick them up at the launch.

In addition, Freedom Paper products can be purchased on their website www.freedompapercompany.com, using the COUPON CODE: "APPEALINC".
  We are excited about this new initiative and look forward to continuing to put into practice the principal of Ujamaa, Cooperative Economics, as we form more new cooperative and long-lasting relationships with Black owned and operated manufactures and producers in the future.

Best regards,
