The first meeting was attended by about 50 local citizens.
Many ideas were brainstormed at the first meeting. It was decided by general consensus to begin the focus of energy in five general areas:
• Local resource guide of producers and services;
• Organic community gardens;
• Buyers club as a stepping stone to a retail co-op (co-op literature tells us this can take up to two years to open the doors);
• Organic gardening education opportunities;
• Farmer's market in Clearlake.
All of these are tied to a commitment to support local organic farmers/producers whenever possible and to be available to as many people in community as possible.
The next meeting will be on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 10 a.m. at the Hot Spot Youth Activity Center at 4750 Golf Avenue in Clearlake.
The meeting is open to the public and anyone interested in hearing more about what they are doing or interested in joining this exciting group is welcome to attend.
The agenda will include discussion about a name for the co-operative and developing a vision statement for the co-op.
Also, Allen Markowski will give a brief instructional presentation on navigating Wiki spaces.

Jose Acevedo Rosas, 36, was injured in the crash, which took place at about 6 a.m., according to Officer Adam Garcia, spokesman for the California Highway Patrol's Clear Lake office.
Garcia said Rosas was driving his 1994 Ford Mustang southbound on New Long Valley Road in Spring Valley when he lost control of his vehicle because of the roadway's slick surface.
Rosas traveled across the opposite lane and went over the east shoulder, traveled down a steep, downgraded embankment and struck a tree, Garcia said. The impact crushed the car's hood, roof and windshield.
According to Garcia, Rosas lost consciousness and no one in the area witnessed the collision.
When Rosas regained consciousness – more than two hours later – Garcia said he was spotted climbing up the embankment near the road.
Garcia said Rosas sustained major injuries that were not life-threatening. Paramedics with Northshore Fire Protection District's Clearlake Oaks station transported Rosas to Redbud Community
Hospital.
Officer Erich Paarsch is investigating the collision, which Garcia said is not believed to have had alcohol as a factor.
