nibotSo, I think it's time to get moving with starting a co-op in Rochester. An ambitious project, yes, but it needs to be done. I am going to get started with seeking out connections in the community and looking for a group of true believers. I am also going to contact existing co-ops in the region and ask them about their experiences, details of incorporation, etc. Here are some upstate NY co-ops:
Nickel City Co-Op — Buffalo, NY
Triphammer Cooperative, Von Cramm Cooperative — Ithaca, NY (Cornell University)
Beta Sigma (still a co-op?), Folwell House, Sill House — Geneva, NY
Bunche House, Ecology House — Hamilton, NY (Colgate College)
Also need to start crafting the "vision"... My own includes elements of USCA co-ops, the Swedish Nations, and TEP house (at MIT). Any ideas on what to name this entity and/or its house? "Rochester Student Cooperative Association" could be spiced up a little. Oh yeah, if you're thinking, "What is a Co-op??" then you should read What is a Co-Op? from NASCO. Then let me know if you want to be part of this endeavor. (-:

Date: 2004-09-26 10:41 pm (UTC)Alex says SCA stands for "Stupid Crap Association". So maybe it's good to avoid naming anything else with that acronym.
P.S. I am trying to figure out if I know you.
