Having travelled quite a bit in the cohousing landscape I have forgotten which group it was that did this but it seemed to be very effective. For an outreach event they put on a community dinner at a local meeting room that had a kichen; simple food, salad and vegetarian spagetti and bread and during the meal people just socialized, introduced themselves and talked about their lives, exactly what goes on at community dinner. At the end, they all did a circle and talked about their vision. Since people had just experienced community dinner they were very excited and they got a clear idea of what it was all about. Then everybody helped clean up, another community building event. They then passed the hat and recovered their costs and even made a bit of money. If I recall correctly, they did three or four of these events, and filled their membership with dedicated members and had a waiting list besides. This seems so much more real and effective than a meeting, and I understand from other conversations that some people who come to cohousing get turned off cause it appears to be all about archetecture and having a high meeting tolerance. I wish I could remember the group it was, perhaps somebody who was part of that can remind me? Rob Sandelin Sharingwood Cohousing, Snohomish WA -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
