Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Common Meals accounting

[Linda Kato (lindanicosiakato]

We started to use Gather to sign up for common meals in 2021.  The Meals
Team indicates a suggested amount for each meal and puts out a basket to
collect the checks or cash.   This has worked well, so far, because some
members put in extra and because our community budget covers the staples we
use in the kitchen.
