Cohousing-L Mailing List: Associate Memberhip Policies

<  Thanks for responding to my question about Associate Membership policies,
Douglas and Jim. Neither of you specified what the fees are for various
categories of non-owner membership, but I am also <  curious to know what
costs the fees cover in your community and whether fees go to your HOA
general fund.

I believe our fees go into our general fund. One of the primary purposes of
charging associate members a fee is to offset what we estimate is their use
of electricity, water, heat and general wear and tear of our facility.
