Hi, Yes, I refer to our CommonHouse as our Community Center to other local folks. Folks know what a community center is. It works.

It's not a house which multiple families live in, a la commune. It's not even a house. When referring to it, to visitors for example, I refer to it as our "community hall". That takes care of the common ownership, and "hall" makes people think of a meeting hall, a dining hall, a parish hall, a place for big events, a place more public than a private home. Which pretty much covers the territory. Maraiah Lynn Nadeau RoseWind Cohousing, long-built, in Port Townsend WA (where we are finally getting some rain) PS: I have an intermittent e-mail glitch.
