>> scheduled for January 23rd, 2010.  Another new initiative on the  
>> horizon for 2010 that FIG members are helping with is the  
>> feasibility study and planning for a local foods storefront co-op  
>> in Macomb.  This exciting community project is something many FIG  
>> members are already looking forward to and FIG will keep you  
>> informed about developments and opportunities for your involvement  
>> in this project in the weeks and months ahead.
