News
Updates for the week of 3-16-15
It's been a while since any new news posts have been made here. So in an effort to make this space useful and not a depressing reminder of how infrequent we update this site, I'll be (trying) to post weekly updates here. I'm still working out format ideas, but the kinds of things you might expect to see in these updates could be:
- Upcoming events and meetings
- Recent house decisions
- Important information from officers and/or members
- Other events in the community
Sunday's house meeting
- Passed a policy requiring changes to house policy on the wiki be ratified
- Created a Wiki Maintainer labor position
- Passed a proposal regarding the turning in of receipts to financial officers
Minutes from the meeting are available here.
Other News

It's Hot As $%!# So Let's Have A Party!

Lounge in our botanical gardens, or indulge in our cool air-conditioning. Enjoy the delicate melodies that will boom from Claude's apartment. If you do not come to this party, you are likely a square and we didn't want you anyway. Costumes encouraged! Blame them on heat insanity.

Housewarming Hootenanny
Earlier this year the Community Housing Expansion of Austin was fortunate enough to purchase a new house, the second in its network and a long-time goal. La Reunion Coop is not only a new coop, but a different kind of co-op. We focus on making the cooperative option available to low-income and minority members and being a resource for our neighborhood by holding events and making our space available to our community.
It's been a wild couple of months filled with early challenges and successes, and there's much more yet ahead. We're proud of the progress we've made and would like to invite you to come over and celebrate with us!
We'll be having music, dancing, BBQ in our courtyard from 6-10. Bring some food for a potluck dinner. Bring an instrument to jam out on, a frisbee to toss around, or just your lovely self. Kids and animals welcome. Drinks BYOB.
We look forward to connecting and getting to know you!
If you are involved in another co-op (whether housing, worker, consumer, etc.) we'd especially love to learn more about how our organizations can connect and support each other!
