Hi all, Looking at the list of common house furnishings we need, I have for one of the guest rooms twin single beds and linen - good innerspring mattresses with base, solid wood head and foot boards, iron frame, pillows, feather duvets and covers, bedspreads, which I am happy to donate. See photo below. If they are wanted, can they be stored in the workshop or guest room? Catherine

re correction to meeting notes

Hi all: see below for Rosemarie's statement about the $5K she offered 'to underwrite' work done by Frank Scurr. Her email was sent on 26th July. " Hi folks I'd like to clarify Maurice and my offer re our $5000 waiting list deposit. We have offered to underwrite the cost of Frank Scurr doing a section of the fence associated with the memorial in order to cost it. Not anticipating this will be $5000. We're not that generous! Cheers Rosemarie " I don't read this as meaning Rosemarie has donated $5k towards the fence. If there's an update on this, that can be provided tonight at the meeting. Best wishes meantime, Marianne Marianne Quinn Level 3, 115 Stuart Street, Dunedin P.O. Box 20, Dunedin 9054 ph +6434773115 or 0211612050

Talking with Rowena from Sunward Cohousing, Ann Arbour, Michagan
by Jan Burch 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

Topic: Toiora High St hears from Rowena of Sunward Cohousing Time: *Mon Sep 7, 2020 07:00 AM* Dunedin (3pm Sunday for Rowena) https://zoom.us/j/97706411094?pwd=TUZXMzZlaWMwcCs5andlYStFV29rUT09 Meeting ID: 977 0641 1094 Passcode: *7179 232 405* Warning: because I created this link with my work zoom account, you will initially be put into a "waiting room"and see a bit of NWnW branding. Don't think you've come to the wrong zoom :-) Hi folks The above link (along with the passcode) will get you into a zoom meeting with Rowena from Sunward CoHousing <http://www.sunward.org/>. We've asked Rowena to give us some of her time so we can find out more about the systems and processes that her community has developed to deal with conflict. I was lucky enough to be invited to Rowena and Paul's for dinner. My memory of part of the discussion (which was actually super wide-ranging and over 2 years ago now so I may have it all wrong) was that Sunward have guilds, within which people in their community can specialise in their craft. It is the mediation and the facilitation guilds that we are particularly eager to find out more about. I've explained to Rowena that the reason I am reaching out to her is that before we shift in we would like to develop systems to deal with conflict; ideally before we need them. Our Toiora cohousing group is committed to consensus decision making, but I feel we could all do with some help/training when it comes to how it all actually works in our community life and meetings. Sunward uses Consensus-Oriented Decision-Making, a Model for Facilitating Groups to Widespread Agreement https://www.consensusdecisionmaking.org/ which seems to be pretty close to what we are aiming for. Governance may be a separate issue, but they seem to be very closely intertwined, so I hope Rowena gets time to talk to us a bit about that too. Rowena can start by correcting all the bits above that I've got wrong! For any Toiora High St-ers who want to find out more about Sunward before hearing from Rowena, or get a feel for an alternative induction option, go to https://www.touchstonecohousing.org/ann-arbor-cohousing-virtual-tour/ to check out the series of short videos they made to replace their usual weekly tours during covid. I particularly enjoyed the Contrasting Communities <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhCNlR-kw3c&feature=youtu.be> segment. Gay, Alex, Sue T and I will definitely be on this Zoom call, but the invitation is open to any other Toiora High St-ers who can handle a 7am Monday morning Zoom. There's a possibility that we may be joined by Robin from Touchstone Cohousing. Thanks so much to all those giving up their sleep or Sunday afternoon. Jan

Hi all Thanks to access to a generous bookshop discount we have two copies of Robin’s book. Anyone is welcome to the spare copy which can then be shared around the group. I can post it down to someone.
