Then Let's Get Busy Now!
For The Serious Investor:
The Grocery Committee is recommending that the shares be sold for $100.00 each.
By purchasing 5 shares a person becomes a voting member of the board
that will make the final decisions. People need to check
with their estate planner, or attorney, but we have been told
that a share or membership certificate would be the same as cash for
a person wanting to "GIFT" cash from their estate to their heirs.
They could buy a share for their children, or grandchildren, and
it would be the same as a cash gift.
Donations:
Simple donations are also very welcome.
