Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Did your community celebrate last night?

[Robert Heinich (robert]

I can now breathe ... AP just declared that NC is in the Obama camp:

Election night was also on our Tuesday night community dinner.  So after
dinner, we moved the TV from the kids room to the large dining area and set
up two zones: the quiet zone in our West Wing which has the plasma TV screen
and the rowdy zone in our dining area.  (The Common House has both cable TV
and internet.)  We had placards for the kids and posters to decorate the
Common House.

We also gave each kid a map of the United States and crayons to color the
states red or blue.

People brought snacks and beverages to share and stories to tell on what
they did to help with the campaign.

What makes it a cohousing moment was that all this done spontaneously with
folks contributing what they could.
