When: Thursday, November 7, 7 pm. Potluck dinner followed by brainstorming meeting. Where: Millstone Coop, 102 Morrison Avenue, #3, Somerville. Near Davis Square.=20 Who: Members of groups living together cooperatively in the Boston area. We want this meeting to be wide-reaching and inclusive, so please forward this announcement to anyone you think might be interested. WHAT YOU CAN DO: 1) Come to the dinner! We'd love to include as many people as possible, and hope to have at least one person from each coop. Please bring a vegetarian or vegan dish to share (vegan preferred). If you need vegan cooking suggestions, feel free to contact Leah or Eowyn at 617 718-9285. 2) Get excited! Start thinking about what your coop needs to be stronger, more sustainable, more fun. Ponder your own skills, and those of other people you live with, and how you could use these skills to contribute to the growth and development of other coops. Start dreaming about a cooperative revolution, and how we might contribute to the cooperative movement in Boston and other places. To help with this process our fabulous community coordinator, Naomi Tor, will be crating a list of questions to inspire creativity and discussion. She will be in email and phone contact with your coop over the next few weeks. 3) Consider designating a primary contact person for Naomi so she can stay in good contact with your coop. 4) Forward this announcement to other coops in the Boston area, and send their contact info to Naomi.

Millstone strives to be a queer friendly and anti-racist environment. Co-op membership includes a committment to weekly house meetings (about 2 hours each), cooking an average of 5 meals a month, and one house chore (around 1 hour/week) -- usually averaging a 5-6 hours/wk committment. We are looking for at least a one year committment. We also are working on a project which will ideally lead us to purchase our own property within a year, and we are committed to building the cooperative movement in Boston and nationally, including membership in Boston Community Co-operatives (http://www.bostoncoop.net/bcc/) and NASCO (North American Students of Cooperation, http://www.umich.edu/~nasco/). Move-in date is January 1, with some flexibility. Rent is $590/month; utilities $45/month; food $115/month; supplies $10/month. First month's rent and a $550 security deposit are necessary before the move-in date. If this sounds inspiring, please contact us at millstone@bostoncoop.net or 617-718-9373 (mailbox 1) and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We like to get to know people as well as possible before they move in: this process includes phone conversations, attendance at dinners, and an interview. To find out more about us, check out our website at http://www.bostoncoop.net/millstone/ . And please forward this announcement to all your friends interested in cooperative living!

I'm looking for a place to live in a co-operative or collective housing arrangement in the Boston area (accessible by public transportation) beginning on January 1st, for about six months (possibly up to a year). I see co-operative living as a chance to create a positive environment which can be a path to creating a better world. I've been eating in a dining co-operative at Oberlin College for the last three semesters, where I've been actively involved as a breadmaker and a missed-jobs-coordinator. I'm 20 years old, non-smoking, vegan/srtict vegetarian, and involved with anti-violence work, sex education, and queer activism. I can be reached by email at rkwawer@oberlin.edu or by telephone at 646.872.4677. Thanks.

Of over 400 people arrested during the RNC, only Camilo and 2 others are still facing charges. These charges could result in Camilo spending his next 40 years imprisoned.

We are holding a house party to raise support for Camilo's case. We've invited folks who are working to support Camilo, who can answer any questions you might have. One of the ways you can contribute is by writing letters in support of Camilo. Boston Community Cooperatives has already written such a letter and we're encouraging everyone to do the same. Letters from both individuals and organizations are welcome, so please bring any letterhead from organizations you're involved with. Please come, hang and eat with other like-minded people, learn more about Camilo's situation, and help keep Camilo free!

We almost moved in, but unfortunately the owners decided they weren't ready to move out yet. Now it turns out they are moving and are potentially interested in leasing to a co-op group, for a longer-term lease (a couple of years or more). The house is quite large, and could fit anywhere between 6-12 people, depending on how many couples, etc.. It's immediately adjacent to the arboretum and the Roslindale commuter rail stop. Our negotiations on rent spanned quite a wide range, ($3000-$4500/month) so you would have to figure out what they were looking for now. In any case, if any existing or newly forming co-op group is interested, they are quite interested in renting to a community.

I've just heard about a possible opportunity for folks to install solar electrical systems at greatly reduced cost. The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative has funds generated from electricity ratepayers and set aside to promote renewable energy. In turn they have awarded grants to several local groups around the state for the "Solar to Market Initiative," which will pay part of the cost of installing a solar PV system for selected households or businesses in certain towns. With this money, plus tax breaks and other incentives they expect to reduce the cost of installation by about half! If this is successful more funds are expected to be released in future years, for more installations. To check it out, see the contact info and Web address below. Cooperatively yours, Joanne Tuller from The Big Top For more info: Boston, Brookline, Newton, Somerville: call Mass Energy Consumers Alliance, Leslie Grossman or Debra Perry, 617-524-3950 Arlington, Cambridge, Lexington, Waltham, Watertown: call MIT, Laxmi Rao, 617-253-6821 There are other clusters on the Cape, Western Ma etc -- see URL below. This is a pilot project -- more funds are expected later for other towns. http://www.mtpc.org/Grants_and_Awards/Awards/gpp/02GP03Clu.htm __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.

However I am still confounded by four different co-ops. Even though I know they exist I have not yet talked to and have no way to reach: Spirit of 76 Dudley co-op There are also two I am unsure about their very existence one is listed as Macro House and the other is simply named Allston co-op. I have called and left messages at both but with no reply so unless someone tells me otherwise I am about to assume that they either arent co-ops or dont want to participate right now and take them off the master list. So far we have collected info on 23 different co-ops, talked to three more, heard of two others, and suspect the existence of a further 2 making a grand total of 29 co-ops with a membership of well over 250 people including around 100 in student co-ops. The more the merrier, and the greater potential for mutually beneficial cooperation!ciao,pete --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

If anyone who feels confident facilitating consensus style meetings would like to volunteer to do so please email me and let me know your availability and experience, and anything about what you would like to recieve in return if possible. And if anyone knows of any houses or apartments going up for rent in the next year in any part of town that have good landlords and are affordable please email me with contact info or leads.

The address is 3 Sacramento St. in Cambridge. Since it's a student coop, the turnover is relatively high. I suppose a good contact phone number there might be the phone of the resident advisor; I don't think the coop has a 'house' phone number. I will try to find it out.

Naomi Tor Notes from the November, 2002 BCN Organizing Potluck What's good about your coop? - not enough focus on chores - landlord - property - conflict among members What could be improved? - better coordination of chores - more shared property - people talk more, in gentle respectful way - new space! More space! Different space! More common space! - out of landlord control - clear membership processes - property search - reluctant to do anything touchy-feely Dreams of coops - income sharing - commitment - more active/activist together - more fun together - more self sufficient - bigger - less turnover - more guitars - ownership - affordable - more people - better consensus/decision process - dealing with issues versus ignoring - more community interaction - more deliberate interaction - coop in the center of a vibrant farm community in Cambridge! - common space shared by all coops - kitchen, big room for large meetings, fish tanks, used by progressive groups, spiritual..... - community center - stable, trusting relationships - coop for people who want to live along but can't afford to - separate coops vs. tightly united? - more flow of ideas! - coop dollars (or should people just share?) Dreams of BCN - money to appear - buy houses! How we can work together - conflict resolution - discussion of different coop's membership processes - what do you need to discuss before moving in? - discuss special issues in coops - couples, kids, rent vs. own, pets, responsibility for space - share financial systems - bulk ordering - coop library (list of books on conflict resolution, recycling, composting, energy efficiency, radical political theory, construction, bicycle maintenance, cookbooks, etc) - skill shares - resource shares - creative meeting design (games, relationship building exercises) - keep track of history - video conferencing - outside facilitator pool - coop retreat (camping in summer?) - share retreat locations for individual coop retreats - exchange coop members - intercoop sports/olympics - shared meals - hiring of staff - look at other models, including college - pooling resources, including music, videos - other coops, like food coops - skill shares, bike stuff, building stuff - "craig's list" for coops - share knowledge and resources about actions, events, sublets, items, cleaning house - show people what we do - open house, immersion for people who are curious - communication between coops - working together to fill openings - mentoring to new coops - education - workshops on mediation, etc. - outside facilitation - sharing "best practices" - connecting with coops in other cities Main points of wrap up discussion - share resources - information, tools, skills, food, coop library, bulk ordering, - "craig's list" for coops - become self sufficient - workshops - meeting design, membership, conflict resolution - more flow of ideas - solid core - connected with each other and the outside world - Gardens/compost/food - closed cycle Next steps Joshua: collection of printed materials Joanne: work on tool/skill shared Mark: work on steering group Pete: central communication, general support Ilana: general support/steering committee, skill shares Erica: database, list of skills, general Karina: get Pika involved Dylan: technical assistance, Mellon Street assistance Nat: technical assistance, coop movement information, info on local coops Susan: share coop experience Amanda: skill share Sanjay: financial help, help with property ownership Jon: computer skills Arthur: work parties Mellon members: work on keeping their house Eowyn: workshop development Anita: keeping her coop in communication Margot: keeping her coop in communication ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pete Stidman" To: Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 2:10 AM Subject: [BCN] Anyone interested in joining the Steering committee? > Currently were having meetings approximately every 2-3 > weeks.

Do you know of anyone that might want a long beigh fold out couch. It's not beautiful, but in good shape and it's clean.

We are looking for someone interested in living in a community, whose values and lifestyle complement our own. Our co-op's core values include Vegetarianism, Open Communication, Creativity, Communal Ownership, Environmental Sustainability, and Social Justice. Millstone strives to be a queer friendly and anti-racist environment. Co-op membership includes a committment to weekly house meetings (about 2 hours each), cooking an average of 5 meals a month, and one house chore (around 1 hour/week) -- usually averaging a 5-6 hours/wk committment. We are looking for at least a one year committment. We also are working on a project which will ideally lead us to purchase our own property within a year, and we are committed to building the cooperative movement in Boston and nationally, including membership in Boston Community Co-operatives (http://www.bostoncoop.net/bcc/) and NASCO (North American Students of Cooperation, http://www.umich.edu/~nasco/). Move-in date is between March 1st and April 1st. Rent is $590/month; utilities $45/month; food $115/month; supplies $10/month. First month's rent and a $550 security deposit are necessary before the move-in date. If this sounds inspiring, please contact us at millstone@bostoncoop.net or 617-718-9373 (mailbox 1) and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We like to get to know people as well as possible before they move in: this process includes phone conversations, attendance at dinners, and an interview. To find out more about us, check out our website at http://www.bostoncoop.net/millstone/ . And please forward this announcement to all your friends interested in cooperative living!

What the heck does 'Boycott World Bank Bonds' mean? As publicized by the mass mobilizations by the Global Justice movement, the policies of the World Bank create poverty throughout the world. They force impoverished countries to prioritize debt repayment over human need, taking money away from health, education, and clean water. In Africa, decades of World Bank lending have harmed public health systems and exacerbated the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Meanwhile, the Bank makes it easier for companies to fire workers and to change their labor laws, weakening the collective power of workers. The examples go on. But the Bank has a weak spot. It gets 80% of all of its funding from bonds, which are sold to universities, pension funds, cities, and so on. Over the past few years, organizers around the world have launched a campaign to boycott those bonds. Last Spring, Cambridge became the seventh city in the country to boycott World Bank bonds--and the first in the Northeast. Bankbusters, a local Global Justice group, is working to pass a boycott in Somerville as well. In support of that campaign, Millstone Coop will host a house party on January 30th. This party is the place for you to learn more about the World Bank and how to get involved in the boycott campaign. We'll be watching a movie on the issue and hearing from a speaker from Bankbusters on this campaign against the World Bank. Of course, there will be good food, good people, and a great time. So please, come out! Please RSVP to Millstone at 617-718-9285 or millstone@bostoncoop.net I hope to see you soon, and feel free to circulate this, especially to other Somerville residents. In Struggle, Micha Josephy for the Millstone Cooperative Directions to Millstone by T: Take the Red Line outbound towards Alewife. From the Davis T Stop, take the College Ave. exit (left at the top of the stairs from the platform). Exit at the bus waiting area and follow the bus-only road away from Davis square. Continue straight through the Brooks parking lot to the bike trail behind Brooks. Take the bike trail to the first street - this is Willow. Turn left on Willow and take the first right onto Morrison. 102 is the first house past the auto shop. Ring the bell for the 3rd floor. Contact us if you need different directions or see below.

certification, to Somerville to teach, and hopefully be near Chavurat Shalom, on College Avenue. I try to be environmentally friendly, wish to live near enough to the T not to have to own a car, hope to adopt one to two children within the next 5-15 years (so will need a community friendly to this idea), and wish to contribute to a consensus-based positive-action oriented community. My current schedule limits me to visiting during school breaks, or possibly Friday nights, if sleep-over space is available, but I am hoping to also begin becoming acquainted with like-minded people and groups via email or writing, if that is also possible. My apologies for long-windedness, thanks, Shira Destinie Jones __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

We are activists who believe the struggle for global justice begins in our local neighborhoods and that spiritual growth is an essential component of social change. We try to incorporate these ideas into communal living. Our household is a TV, smoke, and drug-free environment. We are a queer-friendly house. We have collective vegetarian/vegan meals several nights a week, cook and communally purchase organic food. We enjoy making music and other arts and crafts. Although we love cats, unfortunately our dogs cannot coexist with them. Rent should be approximately $500 for a small room, plus food and utilities (total under $700). We have a nice, large, sunny space, with several common rooms. We also have a high speed networked Internet connection and communal computers and printers. Room is available late February (possibility to start later, if you want). Our process for selecting new members may take a few weeks, although we will try to do it as efficiently as possible.
