Cohousing ABQ in Albuquerque is looking for input from other communities on
what has worked well or not worked well when it comes to policies or
programs around Community Meals. Lots of factors to consider! We?re working
on getting our policies in place prior to construction getting started
later this year. Your experience in this area would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Pat,

Our Architect, Chuck Durrett, told us he specifically designed our
community spaces so that we will be supported in having 3-4 common
meals/week.  Less than that, Chuck said, results in less connecting and
possible dissolution.  We have 3 going and I see his point.  We have chiefs
and sous chiefs and clean up on our sign up channel to make sure meals are
covered.  Two of the meals are pretty easy - mostly potluck on Weds and
Fri.  Our community meals on Sunday are a chance for chiefs and sous to
shine, and they mostly do remarkably so.

Best wishes to you and all Coho ABQ.
