Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: A question about annual tips to service providers

[Fred H Olson (fholson]

An alternative would be some kind on non-monetary thank you.
I cant imagine a significant amount of money for all the various
service workers.

Maybe a nicely prepared letter or card
Maybe include a picture of the community / community members.
Maybe an impromptu seranade by community members. I'm imaginging
this when the trash truck arrives one morning.

Recently the news here featured a relationship that developed between
trash collection workers and a child with cancer (and siblings)
who waved to each other on trash day.

It's nice to receive expressions of appreciation.
