There was a survey a few years back about meals, and indeed, communities with required meal participation had better participation and higher satisfaction with the meals program. This is not to say that communities that did not require meals were necessarily unsatisfied with their meals programs or unable to keep things going, but that on average, communities with a required meals component were more successful in maintaining the program and happier with the results. I don't remember who did the survey, but I'm sure someone out there with a better memory can track it down. I am curious as to what your meal sign up system is, and what happens if you don't sign up. Having someone whose job it is to follow up on those who forget to sign up is very helpful for those of us who are too busy/ forgetful/ distracted to remember to get ourselves on the calendar. At New Brighton cohousing, , the meals coordinator posts the calendar at least a month ahead. If you don't remember to sign yourself up, the meals czar signs you up for a slot and sends you an email. If it wasn't for the fallback of having the coordinator sign you up, probably a quarter of the community would regularly forget to sign up. I have also heard of communities where people are signed up for the same slot every month- ie first Monday, second Thursday etc... Randa Johnson
