Lynn Clark-Stone
Position:
Bookkeeper & part-time Outreach/Marketing Coordinator  Lynn feels that the Potsdam/Canton region is the best part of the North Country. She considers the Co-op to be an integral part of what gives the feeling of ‘community’ to this area. Except for a two year period living in the Syracuse region, Lynn has resided in the Potsdam/Canton area since transferring to SUNY Potsdam to finish her degree. She and her housemates were members of the Co-op then, a time when membership and working were required. Her most vivid memory of that time (long before The Bagelry opened) was receiving volunteer credits by bring 13 dozen bagels back from a visit to NYC to eagerly awaiting Co-op members. Surprisingly, she is still able to eat garlic and onion bagels to this day. Lynn likes working at the Co-op and enjoys its positive environment. She says that the most difficult part of her day is walking past the warm scones in the morning while carrying a cup of hot Love Buzz coffee. |
