We have never allowed animals of any kind in the commonhouse, and it was
never a big deal. Once one of the members made it clear that her daughter
would be negatively affected(bad asthma and allergies), there was no
question. I'm saddened that you have people who disregard this.

Any possibility of getting this issue on the agenda again and having people
buy into the idea that the CH needs to be pet free?
