Craig Pardy, our retiring President, received thanks for his 9 years of dedicated service to our Co-op both as a Board Member and President. Re-elected Board Members were Maurice Kelly and Denley Stone. We would also like to welcome two new Board Members; Greg Pittman and Peter Martin. Your Board of Directors is made up of nine individual Members who volunteer their time to act as your representatives in overseeing the welfare and soundness of your local Co-op. They work together to keep the best interest of you “the Members” in mind.
Your Clarenville Area Co-op had a very successful year with many positive changes. We have a new supplier – Coleman’s group of Companies. We have rebranded your Co-op Gas Bar to “Shell”. Shell gasoline is a top graded fuel that is injected with Nitro for high performance. Your Gas Bar continues to offer Co-op Cash as well as our new Air Miles reward program.
Please be on the lookout in the near future for the grand Re-opening of our Gas Bar to celebrate the launch of the “Shell” brand.
Clarenville Co-op would like to thank all our Members for their support over the past year and look forward to your continued support in the future. The Board would also like to welcome all new members who joined the Clarenville and Area Co-op in 2015.
