Always looking to further my understanding of cohousing. And am excited about the new book. I'm definitely there! Also, Jack mentioned we will be meeting at 7pm.

Yes, I plan to cook enough of something to feed many hungry people. When I figure out the menu, I'll post.

Do you have books ordered for us to purchase from you or do we need to purchase on our own?

We'll need to order our own, I think.
Another Book Club meeting, TONIGHT at Dan's house:
1204-B Chester Ave., Nashville, TN.
We're meeting at 7pm. We've had a small turn out the last 3 meetings, but it's been a great way to think more thoroughly about cohousing and gain new perspectives. The conversations have been great! We're still discussing the older cohousing book by Katie.
Generally we're planing to meet every Wed until mid-may and then we'll switch to a new evening.

we talked about using another book for now, 'Living In Community' was mentioned, but I wasn't able to find a book by that exact name. I won't be able to attend for the rest of this month, but an interested friend wants to know and possibly attend. Do we know exactly what book so we can purchase or borrow?

NO cohousing book club meeting this coming Tuesday (May 31) because of the long, busy weekend.
But, there will be a cohousing book club meeting the following Tuesday (June 7) at Jack's House (3527 Central Avenue 3720). Let's say 7pm
Turn out was a little small last week, so let's plan to discuss Chapters 3 and 4 of Creating a Life Together again. Hopefully see some people then!

dang...I've been out of town and I'm working a lot of Tuesdays. If I get cancelled I'll be there. Maybe I'll get a day time work gig and have all my evenings free...until then I have a lot of Wednesdays off until middle of July. Oh well.

The next cohousing book club meeting will be July 5th (Tuesday) at 7pm! We'll be meeting at my house (2911-B W. Linden Ave).
We're still on the "Creating a Life Together" book, but no need to read. Please come and join the conversation!
Also we've transitioned to meeting the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month. We rotate locations and typically meet from 7 to 8:30 or 9pm.
