Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re:Community Tours

On June 7th Rob asked:

  "What kind of energy do you expend on tours?"

At Nyland we have a tour the last Sunday of each month at 11 a.m. with
folks meeting at the common house.  We show a video and have a short
introductory talk and then walk around.  I am the contact person and there
are three of us who rotate running these tours.  We also set up special
tours for the media, classes ranging from elementary to university, and
interested groups.  We always include walking through one or two houses. 
The regularly scheduled tours usually last about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.  Many
of us give informal tours for our own contacts.  It seems that right now
tours are managed in a way that work OK for the community.
