Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Please help us figure out..........

[Emily Pitt (epitt]

I am also doing research on how different communities do their meals, in the 
process of developing a procedure for JP Cohousing. I did go to the listserv 
archives and did a search for "meals", and came up with lots of great 
information. However, I was unable to find the article written by Joani Blank 
that is referenced here. The Cohousing.org site has a link to the magazine, but 
I can't figure out how to search archives of the magazine. Can anyone provide a 
link for this article?

I certainly defer to Joani Blank, who did a definitive study on meal systems and
wrote it up for the cohousing magazine.  (Perhaps someone can tell how to access
that article.  Joani, are you out there?).  My only caveat is that Joani
strongly recommends one system that she claims has worked best, based on the
research and feedback from cohousing communities.  And she may be right.
However, I tend to be against "one fits all" systems, since all communities are
a bit different.  And her system is difficult to implement in communities that
have already been around a while.  However, for brand new ones, this may be the
way to go. So check it out.

We're in the midst of similar meal-related planning at Stone Curves cohousing
in Tucson, AZ, and will look forward to any other ideas or suggestions that
appear on the list serve.  We'll post our findings as well as they come up.
