Seeking Applicants for the Financial Advisory Committee
The Food Coop is forming a committee of PSFC members with financial expertise to work in collaboration with the Coop’s financial team. The Committee will provide professional advice on all aspects of the Coop’s finances, strengthen financial knowledge and enhance financial management and administration.
As approved at the General Meeting on December 2, 2025, the Financial Advisory Committee will review the financial performance of, and economic conditions facing, the Coop and provide advice to the financial manager(s) on potential issues or concerns through its regular reports. The Committee will adopt clear financial benchmarks to help the broader understanding of the financial health of the Coop.
This committee is advisory only, intended to provide guidance on financial issues. Committee members should have a well-developed understanding of financial reporting, accounting and audits. They should represent the diversity of the Coop membership. Highly desirable skills include knowledge of the grocery industry’s economics, advanced spreadsheet skills, economic forecasting, and knowledge of the fixed-income investment markets. Members should have a problem-solving orientation and be prepared to bring a professional and cooperative attitude toward solving disagreements.

Actors and Director Needed! (Not for workslot credit)
Wordsprouts (the PSFC’s reading series) is hosting a staged reading of a play at the Old Stone House on Wednesday, June 24. We’re looking for Coop members to perform the roles of two young women, one Black and one white, and we’d also love to recruit a director.
The play, written by PSFC member Beth Harpaz, is called “Lafayette Travels through Time.” In it, the sculpture of the Marquis de Lafayette at the 9th Street entrance to Prospect Park comes to life on July 4, 2026. Lafayette is accompanied by James Armistead, a Black soldier who is also depicted in the sculpture.
Two young women passing by tell the men that the democracy they fought for is in peril. Together, they try to figure out a way to save the republic.
Anybody interested in playing Shira, a 20something Jewish New Yorker, and Claudette, a twenty-something New Yorker of Haitian heritage? Anybody interested in directing? The production will be script in hand, with two rehearsals. No Coop work credit but participants will get a $50 cash honorarium (provided by the writer/producer not the Coop).
