Cohousing-L Mailing List: Telling the communities history

[Becky Schaller (beckys]

I am going to be moving from Sonora Cohousing in Tucson to the Chicago
area in a few weeks and I've been thinking about what I would like to do
to acknowledge this occasion.   One thought I've had is to plan a time
when various people tell parts of the history of the community up until
the present.  Very few people were here from the beginning and therefore
don't know much about when the community began.  Generally new people
don't know much about the history before they moved in. I like the idea
of people telling parts of our history as they see it and hearing others
tell other parts.  We moved in in 2000 and I think people first started
talking about this in about 1993 or 1994.  If people in other
communities have done this, would you be willing to tell me how you
structured it?  I'm looking for ideas. 
Thanks,
Becky Schaller
