Health Food Buying Club (Dayton or Soddy Daisy)

2008-10-02T20:30:17-04:00

We are settling in after moving here 2 weeks ago, and I noticed the health food sections in Walmart and Bi Lo have VERY small health food sections. I am used to getting things once a month from a healthy food buying club . I used to order things in cases or split cases w/people. Stuff like gluten free baking mixes, organic whole wheat pasta, organic oats and flours for baking, organic and block mozzerella and chedder w/out natamyacin, Hain mayo (made w/cold pressed oil), Shelton's chicken hot dogs (they don't have nitrates), cases of organic WW tortillas or tortilla chips, etc. I have coordinated a club before. WE need a certain total per month to be able to qualify for the trucker to come to Dayton. I think it's $1000 group order (not individual of course). Please Email me if you are interested. God bless!
Pam Passburg 570-8282 Here's my email: passburg@bellsouth.net

p.s. this is not a money making venture for me, but offering opportunity for others to be in a buying club w/me.

This newspaper article describes what a buying club is like:

Food Buying Clubs: Discount Prices for Organic and other Healthy Foods
CHEYENNE - Every eight weeks, a semi-trailer loaded with organic goods rolls into a church parking lot in Cheyenne at the cheery hour of 7 a.m. [Note from Pam: time of arrival depends on trucker's schedule. In GA, our pick up time was 2 pm].

As it rolls to a halt, members of a healthy food Buying Club move into action, sorting the food into piles. Then other waiting members load up their stash and soon are gone.

Founded around 1981, the club enables members to get good prices on organic, vegetarian, kosher, wheat free, gluten free, and other hard-to-find foods, many of which aren't otherwise available without a long drive.

The club of about 20 members places orders by email to a club coordinator from a thick newsprint catalog produced by United Natural Foods filled with everything from organic navy beans to vegan dental floss.

Club members also can buy locally grown hormone-free grain-fed beef and locally-grown seasonal produce through separate suppliers when available (Note from Pam: we need someone local to find us some sources for this as I am new to the area and don't know anyone yet).

For the privilege of ordering in bulk and at discount from a huge selection, getting a copy of the catalog and having the food delivered church parking lot, members pay a $25 annual fee.

"This kind of group is not for everyone," said Barb Gorges, a Cheyenne group coordinator. "You have to plan ahead for a lot of this stuff, and a lot of people don't do their shopping that way."

But the group offers its own unique advantages, she said.

"Not only do we save money, we have a group of people who are familiar with these kinds of food. If someone says, 'Gosh what is spelt anyway?,' odds are some people are there who have tried this ... We even share recipes now and then. It's not just a way to buy your groceries by bulk - it's also a way to learn more about healthy foods for your family."

Kathy MacDonald began ordering 25 years ago to get the vegetarian and vegan foods she wanted to feed her family that were completely unavailable in Cheyenne.

Now she buys lots of soy millk, organic flour, fruit, nuts, vegetables, seeds, spices and vegetarian meat substitutes through the club.

She said she likes that she's never had any trouble finding the food she wants, she said.

"It may not be the exact brand that I wanted," she said, "but the food buying club has always had a wide variety, so it's made cooking and shopping healthfully for my family easy."

Diane Egge joined 14 years ago to get access to organic food, which she said she thinks is healthier and better for the environment.

She usually orders grains, flours, teas and organic canned goods.

To help her keep track of what she needs, she keeps a list she adds to between orders; on the list right now are brown rice, oatmeal and raisins.

She's also the group's "spice girl." She buys organic spices in bulk, she said, and sells them by the ounce to other members.

Member Melanie Bosselman, the group's order specialist, was part of another Cheyenne buying club that had dwindled to two members two years ago when she heard of this club.

Bosselman's daughter is allergic to milk, eggs, nuts and fish, she said. Avoiding nuts and fish generally isn't a big problem, but many popular products contain milk and eggs. Finding pancake mix made without eggs, she said, or rice milk can be a real challenge without a trip to Colorado.

"I have to buy products that are not real available at the grocery store," she said, "and ... we try and buy organic products as often as possible, and those are not plentiful here yet."

When she orders, she said, she chooses lots of whole grains, rice and soy milk, and frozen organic fruits and vegetables. She usually spends between $300 and $500. But many members may only order about $50 worth of food per meeting, she said.

Bosselman estimates she saves about 20 percent on organic groceries by ordering through the club. But she still visits the local grocery stores for produce and other perishable goods in between visits by the truck.

Because members typically order by the case, through email, they often discuss what they'll be buying and see if anyone else would be willing to split a case, she said. Ordering as a group also offers the chance to try new foods, she said.

"Other people in the co-op will try new things I've never tried, so I get to try one or two items out of their case, and we've found some neat foods we'd never have tried otherwise," she said.

Fund Raising Groups

2008-09-26T08:25:06-04:00

Fund Raising Groups

Local Area organizations.

Fund raising efforts have generally involved a series of events such as a sponsored run, a raffle, a concert, a car-wash, or an auction etc. Each individual activity is a �one-off� � volunteers put a lot time and effort into organizing and running the event, they collect a finite amount of money, then move on to planning the next activity. There is constant pressure to invent new fund raising ideas and revitalize old ones because there is no regular, repeat source of income.

Now you can utilize a new and powerful fundraiser concept.
Potential for exceptional profits paid to your group monthly--and for years!

Don't Call Me Mom! (any)

2008-09-18T23:24:32-04:00

We�ve all had those days where we hear our name so many times we decide we�re going to change it to something no one is able to say. If we hear �mom� one more time we fear we might run screaming for the hills with a bottle of vodka in one hand and a bottle of Valium in the other.

If you�re having one of those days (and even if you aren�t), grab your bottles and head to our hills� Don�t Call Me Mom is a �say what you want� board where free speech is valued and protected, so if bad language or bitching offends your delicate sensitivities - you might want to head to another hill.

But your freedom at this board is served with a side of �leave the baby mama drama at the other boards� because frankly, we�re sick of the mama drama that made other boards distasteful enough for us to start this one. We don�t expect everybody to be best friends (or even get along), but if you can�t keep yourself from constantly throwing your vodka in each other�s faces like the tantruming little toddlers we�re here to get away from - go play on another hill.

We'd love for you to visit us at www.dontcallmemom.com !

"It is really nice to be able to speak freely and share thoughts, stories, whatever with like minded people - ESPECIALLY in this area. The bible belt is pretty tough sometimes if you are not a christian & getting together for socializing without religion being a factor is a welcome change." - Tracy

"We can share common experiences and socialize without judgment." - John

"Others should join because it is a chance to meet other like minded people." - Patty

"In a society where our rights, liberties and freedom are under constant assault from neo-cons and evangelicals there has never been a greater need for free-thinking people to band together and promote rational thought. The Chattanooga Freethought Association provides an important opportunity to do just that." - Marc

"This is YOUR Atheist and Freethought community. Come out and join your fell "heathens" and enjoy great conversation and friendship!" - Blair Scott

Concerned Citizens of East RIdge (East Ridge)

2008-08-29T11:13:34-04:00
I have grown very concerned over the past few years with the direction East Ridge is headed. It seems our elected officals could not care less about the rise in crime and state of our beloved city. I am looking to put together a focus group of individuals who want to clean up our city. Our city is comprised of many elderly people who cannot defend themselves. The capable citizens must band together in order to protect our way of life. Interested individuals should be capable of solving problems at any costs.
