Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: out-of-state members <FWD>

[Lee Haring (LEHBC]

Cantine's Island group are really stuck with what sometimes feels like an unwie
ldy procedure. Our group is so small (twelve households when they will all have
 joined) that we can't do without the face-to-face participation of both full a
nd participating members. (Participating means people who come to meetings and
get to know us.) We recently admitted as participating members some people who
live in Vermont, who seem to us totally desirable members of the group but who
are gonna have any amount of difficulty getting to meetings--unless, as they ho
pe, one of 'em gets a job locally and they can relocate. But we had inquiries t
his year from Florida and California that we couldn't really do anything with.
