Last one, guys!  If you’ve been following the letters like you’re supposed to, you should have collected H-O-B-A-R-T! 

“Did you know…OSCA follows the Rochdale Principles, a set of guildelines laid out in 1844 England with the first successful, store-front co-op.  They are as follows… 1) Open Membership.  2) Democratic Control.  3) Member Economic Participation.  4) Autonomy and Independence.  5) Education, Training, & Info.  6) Co-operation Among Co-ops. 7) Concern for Community.”

How do you see the Rochdale Principles play out (or fail to play out) in OSCA?
