Remembering Helen Elden
Sad news reached the Coop this morning. Helen Elden passed away last night. Helen was a founder of Phoenix Earth Food Co-op, its statutory agent for a long time, and a key employee for many years. Guided by her strong commitment to cooperative principles Helen has helped steer the Coop through turbulent times. Her words are immortalized in the Coop’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Helen was very popular with the Coop’s members and she was able to spread her enthusiasm for the Coop to our members and beyond.
The Coop community will sorely miss Helen.

On July 14th Phoenix s 32d anniversary was celebrated, with pot luck. There were tents, which helped with the strong sunlight and the rain, a DJ who was one of the directors, and a member delivered an enconium, with song & drumming, for showing how glad he was that Phoenix was in his neighborhood.
John Klear
The Co-op mourns the untimely death of John Klear, a member of the Co-op community and former member of the Co-op's board of directors. John was co-creator of this website and more recently was a member of our Technology Committee.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to John's family and friends.
