Cohousing-L Mailing List: Common House Use Proposal

[John Goldberg (johngoldberg]

I would like to know what cohousers think of the following common house use 
proposal:

 
1. Nonresident owners can reserve common house only if they have

participated in a work day within previous 6 months or have done

4+ hours of work for the community in past 6 months. They are encouraged to

make a $ donation to cohousing for use of the common house too. Nonresident

owners will be scheduled at a lower priority than resident's events.

 

2. Coho residents can reserve common house only if they have participated in

a work day within previous 6 months or have done 4+ hours of

work for the community in past 6 months.

 

3. No commercial events, meaning the primary purpose of the event is selling

something.

 

4. Lessons or classes are OK if the student (or at least 1 student in a

group class) is a  coho resident and the lesson/ class is held in c.h. for

student's convenience.

 

5. Spontaneous events by residents are encouraged and there is no formal

process for them.

 

6. Only those on a cook team who regularly cook can sign up for meals.

 

7. All events will leave c.h. at least as clean as they found it including

doing all laundry, putting away all clean laundry and dishes, and mopping

floors.



Thank you very much for your thoughts about the above common house use proposal,

John Goldberg
