Steward:

Hallo,

Here's what I did for Steward this week:

– Coordinated with Olivia for Mastodon transfer. – Coordinated with David M to have him come for our Heart Meeting about our organizational structure. – Made some Facebook posts to drum up some perspectives and communicated with some perspectives to encourage them to come to their meetings. – Created a survey–please fill them out!! – Received Pippin's documentation for the missing tapeworm meds. – Received Beans' documentation – the last thing we need is either proof of a negative fecal test or proof of meds for tapeworm/hookworm/roundworm. – Sent a few emails this week, feel free to check them out! I've started an email series about our community values–so please feel free to share your favorite values stories!!

I'm sure I'm missing a few things on this report but that's the gist of what I did this week. Please let me know if you have questions or concerns!

Thanks all for making this place magickal!

(David M and Jessi) Heart Meeting with David M

David: Let's start with NASCO–they're our big organization. NASCO Properties is the organization that actually owns the properties that are Sasona and La Reunion, which make up CHEA. Sasona and La Re are both a 501c3 under CHEA. Part of this is a structure as a necessity, and also out of support. 2002 NP bought Sasona's property. 2014 they were able to buy LaRe. NASCO Properties is a co-op of coops. We send representatives to them and they deal with the management side of things.

Sidney: does NASCO have something where we can see a map of where the properties are?

Ruth: yes it's out of date

David M: NASCO is mainly focused on education–there's a conference with training. we're just members of NASCO, but NP is actually who owns the properties. it's approx $10M in assets.

Sidney: how unique is NASCO?

David M: there's other co-op organizations, like College Houses–they own their own building. there are other national co-op orgs but they're structured differently. a lot of these coops were created for women to band together to support them in going to college.

Ruth: that's the northeast, but here it's about a country and town

Sidney: do we have relationships with any coops outside the US?

Ruth: in Canada. Canada gets a lot more support from their government

Caleb: i'm curious about the relationship has been between CHEA and NASCO

Ruth: we were CHEA for a long time, but at some point we had a baby and LaRe came about.
