The FY08 MARLS cooperative is up and running. All Metrowest members who submitted their pledge and participation forms are able to place their orders with the participating vendors. To comply with coop regulations you must place your order with the primary vendor in each category before using the secondary or tertiary vendors.
If you are interested in joining the coop during the year, please download, and complete, the pledge form and participation form . Forms should be returned to the Metrowest office by fax (781-398-1821) or mail. Once your completed forms are received they will be forwarded to the coop vendors via the Western Region. Members who join during the year will be added on a quarterly basis.
