Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Common house meal prices

[Philip Dowds (rphilipdowds]

CORRECTION OF AN EARLIER POST:

Turns out the system I described has been out of service for a while now.  
Cornerstone has gone to a flat rate $6 per adult for common dinners.  This has 
apparently escaped my attention, because the DowdsHouse is billed quarterly for 
meals and laundry lumped together, and I don’t usually try to break it out.

Thanks to friends and neighbors monitoring my contributions,
