Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Question about "dining clubs"

[Racheli Gai (racheli]

Hi Rick and all:
For clarification: the eating circle I described ceased to exist some years 
ago.  So, I'm not seeking a solution,
but just used it as a real life example, to flash out some of the issues and 
considerations that came up at the time.

Best,
Racheli.
