 Hi Linda;
I wonder if you have also looked at the Cohousing Association website, looking 
at past recording of programs regarding new member orientation? 
here is what I found:

Here at Elderberry Cohousing we plan to initiate a 3 month mentoring  
program for new members.
I've searched previous list-serve threads and Communities magazine  
articles and I'm not finding much that is very detailed.
Does any other community have guidelines for mentoring new members  
they would be willing to share?
