The Federated Co-op Limited Delegates donated $150.00 to Charity Farms. Monica Wilson presented the Retail Manger’s Report. Susan Peters presented the Delegates Report.

Mayor Rod Rowland and Chuck Jacques congratulated the Pangman Co-op on their 75th Anniversary.

The official date of incorporation for the Pangman Co-op was April 1, 1936. The Co-op started out in a small building located where the cafe is today. It later moved to the building where the current Post Office is located. Later it moved to the present site of the Service Station. The earliest minutes on record are from 1944. In 2005 the Pangman Co-op opened the grocery store and at 2010 year end the grocery store has a black bottom line before FCL patronage.

Diane Beattie was offered and has accepted the position of Postmaster at the Pangman Post Office.

Congratulations Diane.
