Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohousing-L Digest, Vol 227, Issue 10

[Avi Freund (avif48]

It’s interesting.  Tomorrow we expect a snow storm and folks here will need to 
move their cars when the snow plow driver is anticipated.  We use a group text 
for that and it seems to work, mostly, I think because people here expect that 
text.  For most other things, however, emails, texts and even phone calls seem 
to have haphazard results with people turning their ringers off or simply not 
replying.
