Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: advise about the pros and cons of having associate members

[Muriel Kranowski (murielk]

Kathy, can you clarify what you mean by "associate membership"?  Is this a 
marketing tool that is seen as, hopefully, a stepping-stone toward actual 
membership, or is it envisioned as a permanent status as "friends of the 
community" for people who will probably never move in but they want to be 
connected?
