Tonight's Food Front meeting still on
Sale of store might be on agenda despite death of Market of Choice CEO Rick Wright
A Food Front Cooperative Grocery member has attached a sign near the store’s old bulletin board urging members to attend tonight’s meeting at 6 p.m. at Friendly House, 1737 NW 27th Ave. A sale to Market of Choice could still be the agenda despite news that CEO Rick Wright, 62, died Sunday.
This afternoon, board chair Roman Shvarts sent an email announcement to members noting that the meeting will be not be “official” and that a later will be called to conduct business.
“We will be there to engage members … and discuss options,” Shvarts wrote.
Very sad news about Rick Wright. He should have been able to see a sweet little MOC flourish in this perfect location. I hope everyone who can will attend tonight's meeting and force the corrupt FFC "Board" to accept the offer they should have accepted when Wright FIRST offered.
