V V C Hosts Students Studying Cooperatives

On Saturday, February 16th, Valley View Cooperative in Eden Prairie had the pleasure of hosting 80 students from the College Conference on Cooperatives. The annual conference features presentations by cooperative leaders from all across the spectrum.

Students at the conference came from 25 states across the nation and toured farming, housing, retail, electric and marketing cooperatives in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

Only 10 of the 80 students had ever heard of senior housing cooperatives prior to the conference. Valley View members were eager to share the concept of senior cooperative living and graciously opened their homes for tours.

After the tour of our facilities, a time of refreshments were served and students were free to ask questions and learn more about cooperative living and the benefits it presents.
