[ShareTompkins] news story about cooking coops

[Danielle Klock]

Hi Ari,

Yeah, I just joined http://www.kitchenswingers.com/ which is a local  
group that is free to join, but by doing so you have to commit to  
hosting a minimum of one dinner per month for a minimum of eight  
"swingers." You are allowed to have additional non-swingers there, as  
long as the eight-swinger minimum is met. Then you can ATTEND as many  
as two dinners each week. If you are a couple, you would have to host  
two dinners to fulfill the commitment, etc...

Dinners are posted on the community calendar and have special notices  
for vegan, vegetarian, etc., so people know what they are attending.  
There will probably be a cap on how many members will be accepted, but  
for now I believe it is still open for membership. They are just  
starting.

If this doesn't appeal to you, I wouldn't mind being part of a second  
group that is geared toward families :)

:D
