While we aren’t meeting face-to-face these days, Haystack Heights Cohousers continue to work and play actively behind the scenes! Your blogger, Sarah, is in Ecuador where she and Doug are “stuck” for the time being—no rides home yet. Nonetheless, she’s able to report on many of the highlights and goings-on of our intrepid and caring community through delightful spying on various Slack channels. These are some of the gems she's seen: *Zoom Farkle Night! Instigated by Mic and Mark. The first of more to come… *We’ve continued to connect with, and sign on, more provisional associates for our waiting list. *We’ve expanded our Slack channels, adding covid information and supporting each other (and even folks outside of our LLC) for errands and more. *Slack channels have been very busy with frequent postings from sharing onion sets to chicks! *We’ve converted our monthly LLC and regular team meetings from face-to-face to Zoom. *Jeremy headed up a bike-sharing survey, with a special category for kids’ bikes. *The Process Team tested out Zoom vis-a-vis small break out groups. Apparently, funny hats were part of the test? *Garden projects are gaining momentum: a tree pruning workshop, pruning the climbing roses, getting ready to plant and even talk of a future root cellar. *Joyce headed up a pet inventory and survey of concerns for non-pet owners that the Pet Polity team will be discussing in our April meeting. *Shop news: The heat is up and running! And more: the wallboard is up! The chain link fence in the construction area has been removed. *A newly formed open-to-everyone communication skills group studying NVC—Nonviolent Communication using Marshall Rosenberg’s groundbreaking book on communication skills. *We’ve added new Zoom meetings such as Haystack Heights Antidote to Social Distancing: COCOA (Chats for Cohousing in the Covid Age) several times a week. 15 people participated in the very first one! *And this just in: Pat, now with angle wings, is offering to make EVERYONE in the community a personalized mask! Not infinite choices, but certainly enough to match your mood: stripes (honey do these make my face look big?); fancy floral; Save the Planet; Peace Out; Aww?; Apple for the teacher; Picasso's version of an apple; sexy chambray! *Jump onto Slack if you've got more ideas on staying safely connected!

I’m so happy that Haystack Heights is thriving. My husband and I attended a few meetings and were very impressed with your vision . Since you’re now filled do you have any plans to perhaps plan another cohousing site in the Valley ? It’s so good to read that you’re all doing well and facing Covid with creativity, a positive outlook and your lovely commitment to interdependence 🌻

I ordered a job spell on a Friday night and on Monday the place I applied for a job called for me to come by their office. They gave me the job I applied for and made me an offer of more per hour than I have ever made in my life! I am so happy! Government jobs sometimes are a slow process. You somehow managed to speed up that process, and I start in just a few days! DR EMU I will be forever grateful thanks once again. You can call on him for help on his email address [email protected] or add him up on his WhatsApp +2347012841542. DR EMU also lent a helping hand to the following } 1. GETTING YOUR EX LOVER BACK. 2. WINNING LOTTERIES. 3. CHILD BEARING. 4. BREAKING OF GENERATION COURSE. 5. GETTING OF JOB. 6. JOB PROMOTION. 7. HERBAL CARE. 8. SPIRITUAL PROTECTION. 9. HERBAL CARE. 10. SPIRITUAL PRAYER. E.T.C.
