Hi,

Greetings from Vancouver, BC, where we are under construction for the
first cohousing community in the city - others exist in the suburbs -
with occupancy expected in a year. To this point, our membership
committee has focused on attracting new associate members and helping
them through the membership process. We still have three units to
sell, but we are examining how our role as a committee will change
during the construction phase and when we are truly living together in
our 31-unit community.

Clearly we, along with the social committee, will be focused more on
the care and nurturing of the members. One thing we've done is begin
an email newsletter a few months ago. What advice can you offer us at
this time of transition?

Thank you,
Lorne Mallin
