Newview (acton ma) has three 'community member' households (folks who pay a substantial amount per year & participate & everything but a few condo-doc-defined voting matters) and a handful of associates (sliding fee, small bucks, participate mostly in meals & common house events & email discussions). details are here: http://newview.org/Joining.htm I'd say its worked well, especially with the community members, who are all within easy walking distance. Some of the associates tend to disappear for months or years at a time, so it is disconcerting when they pop-up and folks don't even recognize them. -Jim Snyder-Grant >>> >>> >>>> I am curious about the experience of "associate members" - people who >>>> live >>>> outside the community but who have a special relationship, and who >>>> participate in some meals and activities. >>>> >>>> We are developing a cohousing project in Grass Valley, CA (located in the >>>> foothills above Sacramento), which has extra land which we plan to sell >>>> as >>>> eight single family lots, across the road from the cohousing community. >>>> We >>>> have received inquiries from people who would like to build homes on the >>>> lots and participate to some extent in the community. >>>> >>>> We'd welcome any information on arrangements for "associates."
