Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Policy/practice for offering guest rooms to other cohousing community members

[Jeanne Juneau (jjuneau98]

Thanks to Mac at Heartwood. I appreciate all the detail.

Is anyone else willing to share their community's policy and/or practice
regarding guest room use by traveling members from other cohousing
communities?

Thanks so much.
