Cohousing-L Mailing List: subset of community paying for improvements

[Muriel Kranowski (murielk]

Someone sent a message to this listserv pretty recently, describing how 
your community has a fairly well established process allowing members who 
can afford it, and wish to do so, to put money into a kitty for some kind 
of community improvement without needing to raise everyone's dues.

I seem to recall that whatever was donated in excess of immediate needs 
went into a longer-term kitty and that some kind of (informal?) committee 
decided what to spend it on, and everyone in the community is fine with 
this arrangement.

I've looked in the archives but haven't found it - it probably had a 
subject header only tangentially related to it, as it was a one-up topic 
that appeared in only one message.

If this rings a bell, if anyone has that original note, I'd be grateful if 
you could send it to me at
    murielk [at] vt.edu

This very topic is now being discussed in my community and it would be most 
helpful to see how it can work.

   Thanks!
