Cohousing-L Mailing List: Separate Account for Dining

[Diane Puntenney (diane]

I've been reading the email archives about how various communities 
handle their dining funds. I notice that quite a few communities have a 
separate bank account for meals. I'm wondering how you handle this. We 
have had an account entirely separate from HOA funds, which means that 
we can't get a business or group account; the account is personal to the 
individuals on the account. I'm wondering if some communities have had 
success with having an account owned by the HOA for the "Dining Club" 
which is entirely separate from other HOA funds.
