Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: cohousing equal access - equal opportunity?

[Malcolm Eva (malcolm]

At Springhill, in the UK, we have a welcomer for every newcomer, and also a 
welcoming booklet explaining how everything works, e.g. When is rubbish and 
recycling collected, how the cooking rota, lockup rota, lawn mowing rota and 
Workdays all work.  Issues such as parking, fees, residents' meetings, conflict 
resolution are all covered, and their welcomer acts as a buddy during the 
settling in period and can be consulted on any aspect that is puzzling or 
worrying.  

By and large it works, and does help to pre-empt the sorts of problems 
described on this thread.
