Posted by Sarah Andert on Fri, May 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
New Orleans Food Co-op proudly announced their latest membership total today — a total of 331 members and counting. Having exceeded their goal of 300 by May 1st, this puts them on target to open in the proposed healing center on St. Claude in the Marigny/Bywater area. The group’s next set goal is to increase their membership to 600 by October, with a total goal of 1000 members by the time they open next year.
With the assistance of a grant from Entergy and Food Co-op 500, the group has already obtained a start-up budget estimate, a timeline and a market study. Currently it’s working on creating a preliminary floor plan and estimation of equipment costs as well as a formal business plan.

Ryan Perrilloux, a reserve quarterback for the defending national champion LSU Tigers, today was kicked off the team for a breach of contract, sources revealed, after the university’s math department deduced that the sophomore’s remaining eligibility will not allow for the four Heisman trophies Perrilloux promised the school as an incoming freshman.
“A deal’s a deal,” head coach Les Miles said at Friday morning’s spring practice. “He can go win those other three Heismans for somebody else.”
Perrilloux, for once, had no comment.
