Jim here, from New View at Acton MA. Our reserves are slowly increasing, as is appropriate for a slowly aging development that will need expensive stuff in the future - roofs, siding, and so on. Right now all the money is in various fixed investments - savings, CDs, and so on. Some, looking at our long time frames, and seeing how much difference a slight increase in return could make, have suggested exploring some investments that risk equity to various degrees in return for better returns - bond funds, index funds, socially responsible investment funds. Have other coho groups gone this route, or had these conversations? If you have, and are willing to talk about it, I'd love to get a couple of us from New View on the phone with a few of you and pick your brains for a few minutes. Reply to me at jimsg at newview.org & let me know when might be good times to chat. Or, if you have short answers of general interest, reply to all.. Thanks! -Jim, at New View cohousing in Acton MA. Brief news: A subcommittee is discussing whether or not to add some pavement somewhere for a basketball court. The court in the parking lot is getting very popular, but avoiding using the same surface for cars & people playing games seems to many to be one reason they moved to cohousing. We are clarifying agreements for how committees can adjust their budgets mid-year. Yoga and Pilates classes in the Common House are on vacation for a bit & will resume shortly. We are about to start up an acting & expressive arts class. -- Jim Snyder-Grant jimsg [at] newview.org 18 Half Moon Hill Acton MA 01720 New View Cohousing http://www.newview.org _______________________________________________ Cohousing-L mailing list Cohousing-L [at] cohousing.org Unsubscribe and other info: http://www.cohousing.org/cohousing-L
