Eta, We have a scheduler who assigns folks to cooking slots (of course, taking in account folks' preferences and restrictions). It is not perfect but thanks to the scheduler, it works. However, if you have been assigned a cooking slot whose date no longer works for you, it is up to you to find a replacement. Generally, one posts to the listserv and someone is usually willing to work out an arrangement. >>> It would also be helpful to find out how much they charge for a meal per person. The cooks pay for the meal. Also we do not RSVP. The cooks take their best guess on how many will show up for dinner. Any leftovers is divided by the cooks or shared with the community. (For dinners when we expect a large attendance, we assign more cooks to share the expense.) So the cooking team plan the meal, prepare the meal, serve the meal and do cleanup. Who does what is worked out by the team. We have had this arrangement for over 10 years and it works for us. Do you know why your meal attendance has been dropping? -Robert Heinich Eno Commons Cohousing Durham, NC http://www.enocommons.org where we have a house available for rent as the owners are in New Zealand for a year.
