Oooops, There have been start up problems with the new MUUSJA announcement list. Ann's first message was not distributed due to a complication. And in my effort to recover I got confused and sent an old (March 30) message again. Sorry, just delete it. Below is the current message reformatted so it will get distributed.

North Country Co-op is located at 1929 S 5 Street, near the intersection of Cedar and Riverside on the West Bank of Minneapolis. After buying their building in September of 2003, North Country Co-ops staff and volunteers decided that the store needed a new look. We¹ll have the same healthful, nutritious food, the same g reat prices, the same knowledgeable and friendly staff, says store associate Christopher DeAngel is. But we have lots of wonderful new additions. For example, for the lunch-time shopper, we have hot fresh pizza from Spokes, and a salad bar. North Country Co-op has also added, among other things, Fair trade bananas and mangoes, and an e xpanded selection of healthy, ready-made soups. And, in the Body Care Department, an increasingly popular local handmade soap by Dun Laoghaire is now available.
