Poetry Contest

As 2012 is the international year of the cooperative, it is a great

time to celebrate the cooperative spirit and honor your community.

By crafting a poem that details how you have given back to others,

you can win a spot on Cabot Creamery’s butter box and share your

story with the world.

Have you worked alone, with your family, or in the classroom to

give back in some special way? We want to know what you’ve done.

Be creative, write from your heart and find the words that capture

your good deeds. Tell us how working to change the lives of others

has changed your own life.
