I am really interested in this too Judith. Our common house is not built yet but at the pottery art co-op I belong to we have a lot of similar questions coming up for use of the space by members. When people want to give a class or workshop that might encroach on other members use of the space how do we handle it? We've kind of hammered it out. I'd love to have a template policy for cohousing to start with about how we use the common house -- and how to manage activities where the public is invited so the community feels good about it. That would be nice to have before move in so we don't have to spend time later on stuff like liability and what are approved uses and how to get approvals and trial and error. I'm going to follow this discussion and print it out. At the pottery co-op I mentioned our simple policy is that the art workshops given there have to have 2 or 3 spots open to be free to co-op members. The date and use has to be okayed at a members meeting. 25% of sales go to the co-op. In the next year while we are building our cohousing group we might enjoy working on policies like this. I was talking with Annie Russell yesterday about how to make get togethers fun. I wonder if that could be fun? ----------------- Louisville Artists Cohousing Louisville Colorado Emilie Parker emilie.v.parker [at] gmail.com 303-317-4558 main 240-350-8533 cell *CAN ART SOLVE SOCIETY'S ILLS?* *Art, be it poetry, music, sculpture, puppetry -- the whole if it, inspires change on a personal level rather than a global one.
