Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Friends, affiliates, or associate members

[Alan O'Hashi (adoecos]

Cohousers:

 We have an Associate Member category. Here is a cautionary question, when does 
an Associate Member become an actual member? We had two instances where 
Associate Membership was used as an interpersonal relationship tool for two 
couples who were trying to figure out if they were a couple. So they used the 
Associate Membership to test drive each other. It turned out that they actually 
lived together during the test drive period, but one person was paying the 
lesser Associate Membership fee. Another example, what if a member has a 
significant other who stays over for say, three nights a week and participates 
in meals, etc. Is that person an Associate Member or just an occasional guest 
in the community?

Thx
