Our laundry room is around the corner from the living room and dining room. 
People often fold in the laundry room if they are the only person there. Some 
take laundry home to fold. But others use the dining room tables, take it to 
the living room to watch TV or sit by the fireplace.

One household folded laundry in every membership meeting for years.
