Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Re: Common Meals as part of HOA dues

[OCC11NG (normangauss]

If food is sold to the general public, then taxes, licensing, public health 
inspections, etc. are part of the picture.
I have been told by the Dept. of Public Health in our county that asking 
members to pay for their meals is not the same as selling the meals.   Also, 
if we request inspection of our kitchen, they will not respond.
