Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Bulletin Boards

[Rob Sandelin (Exchange) (Robsan]

In our temporary commonhouse we have 3,  4X 8 foot bulletin boards, and =
a 4x4 bulletin boards.  These are just sheets of "Beaver Board" which is =
a composite building material, cheap and makes a great bulletin board.

In our community, bulletin boards are crucial to the communication =
efforts and very much part and parcel of our community life.  If you =
want to let folks know about something it goes up on display. We have =
space allotted for each committee, a general announcements and pictures =
space, and a place for kids art (although we removed all the art stuff =
from the kids space in our temporary commonhouse so this space got taken =
over by the development committee plan renditions)

We also have 3 outdoor bulletin boards which are the power meter kiosks. =
All our power is underground and there are panel boards which hold the =
meters for each house.  The meters are on the back side, the sides =
facing the road are covered with fliers announcing events, etc.=20

Our commonhouse under construction will have one whole wall dedicated to =
bulletin boards.  Next to our newsletter, bulletin boards are the =
primary communication tool.
