At Cantine's Island we do not lock the Common House, in fact would find it 
anathema to do so.  However we did have food stolen from refrig once and kids 
felt "fingered." So the compromise we arrived at was to lock the 
refrigerator.  That position also made in response to concern of some that it 
was not responsible-since we had beer and wine there -- to provide 
temptation.  So far appears to work other than the times we misplace the key!

Thanks for all your work for all of us.

Saugerties, NY where we are learning a lot about integrating our second 
generation of members.  Some things we really didn't do right but lovely new 
members are teaching us.
