Field trip to the Recycler

Member M.E. traded steel, brass, wire (mostly Christmas tree lights), and aluminum for just short of $100, destined for the Activity Committee's fund.

Have you been throwing away money?

Friday's Lunch and Learn featured a recycling discussion led by resident M.E.

We are doing well - but, as usual, we could always do better.

Pitch in!

Group work

To commit or not to commit; that is the question.  Happily, at our cooperative, the answer is positive, which results in . . . COMMITTEES.

With a foundation of basic housing legislation, internal by-laws, and managerial and maintenance staff,  what makes our home thrive are the many residents who regularly gather to share and put into action ideas to benefit the whole: Resident Board, Building, Marketing, Decorating, Security, Activity, Communications, Finance, and various ad-hoc groups see to maintaining a safe, affordable, comfortable, attractive, and sociable community.

This allows us to be individuals with our own space and way of spending time while relying on a cohesive system of governance and association with neighbors.

We’re lucky.  It works!

More of this, please

Member ES has a mission to recycle as much as possible and reduce the waste that winds up in landfills. By the way, it makes money for the co-op too!

So, by doing less of this

and more of this

ES brought in $89 in October. A big hand, and let's all not pitch in.

Safe and Sound!

A report given to the November 2012 board meeting confirms it - the Fire Department's inspection of our building found no violations or fire risks.  Let's keep it that way!
