Thank You for Joining Us for Cookout Among Co-operatives

In the spirit of connection and collaboration, NACHA hosted our second annual Cookout Among Co-operatives on Saturday, July 6th, 2019 a field day and BBQ to bring together our co-operative members.

We had so much fun getting to know our co-operative members, we ate delicious food, enjoyed live music and entertainment, participated in crafts, played games and jumped on a couple of awesome bouncy castles!  Thank you so much for joining us and we look forward to seeing you again next year.

Stay tuned for our Save the Date for Cookout Among Co-operatives 2020!
