Discounts, Gifts and Plenty of Fun at Weavers Way Member Appreciation Week

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PHILADELPHIA, PA, January 23, 2014 — Member Appreciation Week is in full swing at Weavers Way, the co-operative grocery store in Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill, with discounts for both new and current members and plenty of special activities, including live music and flash mobs, through Sunday, Jan. 26.

The Co-op launched the week by providing lunch to volunteers at the Martin Luther King Day of Service “signature event” at Girard College. In the stores, member ambassadors and Co-op staff members were on hand to answer questions about membership, offer samples of the local and sustainable products we sell and provide cheer to shoppers.

All week long, Weavers Way members receive 5 percent off of everything in the stores, which makes it the perfect time to join the Co-op and save some money. New members also get a choice of a $5 Weavers Way gift card or a "What's Your #?" mug as our way of saying, “Welcome!” Volunteers and staffers will be busy all week helping interested shoppers fill out membership applications, either on paper or online with the Weavers Way iPads.

Weavers Way is celebrating four decades of its working-member program and encourages all members to take the opportunity to get to know their Co-op from the inside out — and get the 5 percent working member discount year-round. That means 10 percent off during Member Appreciation Week! Six hours per adult per household per year is all it takes to become a card-carrying Weavers Way working member.

As another incentive, new members who join this week, and current members who switch to working status, can sign up for work shifts get a bonus hour of credit.

In addition, Time4Time, Northwest Philadelphia’s local skills-sharing timebank, is offering half price memberships to Co-op members during Member Appreciation Week.

And there will be cake — Friday, Jan. 24, at the Chestnut Hill store, 8424 Germantown Ave., starting at 3 p.m., and Sunday, Jan. 26, at Moving Arts of Mt. Airy, 6819 Greene St., across from the Mt. Airy store, 2-5 p.m. Mt. Airy’s own St. Mad musical troupe will be serenading the crowd.

Feeding MLK Day Volunteers Is Weavers Way's Kind of Service



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PHILADELPHIA, PA, January 13, 2104 — When thousands of Martin Luther King Day of Service volunteers converge on Girard College Monday, Jan. 20, Weavers Way will be there.

But while most of the participants will be working on projects addressing the 19th annual Philadelphia King Day’s focus on helping schools, we’ll be doing what we do best:

Providing lunch.

Starting Sunday, Jan. 19, Weavers Way managers, staff and members will prepare sandwiches to sustain the expected 6,000 volunteers at the Girard “signature site.” (Weavers Way members who want to help can contact Outreach Coordinator Bettina de Caumette at outreach@weaversway.coop, or 215-843-2350 ext. 119.)

Among the Weavers Way suppliers filling our MLK Day larder are Baker Street, Beechwood Orchards, Dietz & Watson, Foods Galore, Julius Silvert, Le Bus Bakery, Restaurant Depot and Weavers Orchard.

This year’s King Day coincides with the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, the decision that barred racial segregation in public schools. “That offers an opportunity to highlight Dr. King’s activism on educational equality,” said Todd Bernstein, founder and director of the annual Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service.

Bernstein, a Weavers Way member who also heads up Global Citizen, a nonprofit organization that promotes civic engagement year-round, is predicting a regional volunteer turnout topping 125,000.

Classroom and library books, computers and college preparation materials are still being collected at the offices of the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News, 801 Market St., and will be sorted and packed by volunteers at Girard College, Girard and Corinthian avenues. (Info: globalcitizen365.org.)

To find out how to volunteer, visit mlkdayofservice.org, contact your local school or community or religious organization. For example, Weavers Way friends and neighbors Awbury Arboretum (www.awbury.org), Friends of the Wissahickon (www.fow.org), Greene Street Friends School (www.greenestreetfriends.org) and the Unitarian Society of Germantown (www.mlkphillyuus.org) all have MLK Day activities planned.
