Cohousing-L Mailing List: guidelines for use of common house

[lienjud (lienjud]

Hi: here at Cascadia Commons, we are thinking about putting together guidelines 
for use of our common house. We talked with other area cohousing groups and 
none have developed guidelines. I searched the archives here and found many 
entries from 2001 and 2007 but nothing more recent. 
We have had some requests for having house concerts and things like craft fair 
where a member would exhibit her work and bring in other artists as well and 
apparently. there was quite the opposition. do you request donations, charge? 
how does this affect liability, etc? how do you prioritize the use of the 
common house? if you have guidelines, would you be willing to share them here? 
thanks so much for any and all input.
