Our Members, both families and singles from a wide range of social, cultural and economic backgrounds, enjoy an environment that encourages respect for one another and participation in co-op life. Like all co-ops, there is no landlord. The people (Members) who live here run the Co-op through a democratically elected volunteer Board of Directors, Committees and Membership Meetings. Since Members are responsible for running the Co-op, they are required to volunteer a few hours each month. This may take the form of sitting on the Board, participating in a Committee, or volunteering during events and activities. All Members are obligated to attend regular Members' meetings, held at least twice a year.
