COMMUNITY
The Boise Co-op also has a far-sighted commitment to community. From the American Heart Association to the Idaho Peace Coalition and numerous other worthy organizations, we actively support events that improve quality of life through a variety of venues. A significant portion of our revenue is returned to community projects each year.

ENVIRONMENT
Out of respect for the environment, we recycle, reuse and conserve in every manner possible. All qualifying materials are recycled. The store has been designed to minimize the use of natural resources and energy, and we seek vendors who demonstrate a similar commitment.

Our Mission — The Boise Co-op is a customer-driven organization that assembles the best people and resources to deliver the finest sustainable and specialty products to the community.

The Boise Weekly

About the Boise Weekly: http://www.boiseweekly.com/

As Boise's locally owned and operated alternative newspaper, Boise Weekly should always keep in the mind that nothing contributes to the well being of a community more than a good local newspaper. Boise Weekly should be a spirited source of accurate, fair news reporting, thoughtful insights and useful information that every reader in the community will find valuable. Its goal is to celebrate what's good about Boise and Idaho - including the idiosyncrasies that make them uniquely attractive - while calling attention, thoughtfully and fearlessly, with humor and without pomposity, to what can and should be improved. Boise Weekly should always be open to voices from the community, foster high quality writing, photography and design, and seek to provide a big picture view of important issues. Most important, it should never lose its dedication to making Boise Weekly an enjoyable and profitable place to work.

Boise Community Radio

http://www.radioboise.org/

Boise Community Radio (BCR) is a grassroots, volunteer-based, nonprofit organization established in 2002 to create southwest Idaho's only locally programmed, non-commercial, community-based radio station. BCR will have a daily impact within the community by creating and encouraging opportunities for residents of the area to access local media. BCR seeks to cultivate a stronger sense of "Place" in the Treasure Valley by upholding programming principles designed to inspire thoughtful discussion and enhance social, cultural and environmental awareness. Programming will be based on public interest, community service and musical diversity. The Treasure Valley is the largest area in the nation that is not served by a community-based radio station.

Boise Community Radio was recently issued a "construction permit" from the FCC, authorizing us to broadcast on 89.9 FM. The proposed coverage area of over 3,000 square miles will stretch from Ontario, OR to the east side of Boise. Our internet broadcast, RadioBoise, offers 24-hours of cultural programming a day, including music, local issues-based content and nationally distributed independent news and public affairs programming. Over 25 different issues-oriented programs are now available, including daily editions of Democracy Now!, and Free Speech Radio News.
Dozens of programmers and producers contribute to RadioBoise and help prepare us for the eventual transition to conventional, terrestrial radio.

Boise Community Radio will be on the air as soon as we can raise adequate funding within the community. Our fundraising campaign will raise $250,000 in local donations for equipment purchases and operational expenses. Online donations and volunteer forms can be submitted at our homepage.

Thee Art Of

Thee Art Of is an organization dedicated to providing an interactive art gallery environment and exposure for local artists, specializing in promotion Avant-Garde and Experimental artists. We are a collective that exists to provide support and networking opportunities for our members. Thee Art of provides free electronic exhibition of art through our web site. We are also a licensed seller and can help artists sell their work
through our site or on eBay. The purpose of Thee Art Of is to generate a large network of local and regional artists from all genres to support the work and efforts of each other. For example, a band may utilize the collective to find an artist for cover art, photos and even stage design. A mosaic artist may need a creative welder for furniture or elaborate wall pieces. Thee Art Of will accept work from all genres: Music, Painting,
Sculpture, Drawing, Photography, Film, Literature, and more. We strongly encourage all artists to submit their work for exhibition and promotion. Exhibition on our site, and in public whenever possible, is always free! We encourage our member artists to interact and network with each other to promote everyone's art.

We are a very open minded and non-judgmental group. However, Thee Art Of reserves the right to refuse any art that our member network deems as offensive. If it offends us personally, we will politely decline to exhibit it.
