Dear Colleagues,
We’re humbled by tremendous signups for the East Bay Cooperative tour! To accommodate everyone and not overwhelm our projects - we’ve spilt the tour group in half with a walking option and bus option.
If you could take minute to let us know which 1) BUS or WALKING tour, and 2) If you are doing the walking tour — your menu choice from the below options we’d much appreciate it.
All tours will depart the Marriott at 12:30 and will return no later than 4:30.
OPTION A: . Tour A will be a guided bus tour of cooperative projects from Bay Area CLT, NCLT, and OakCLT and includes lunch. You’ll visit Bay Area CLT’s Brown Shingle cooperative (lunch from Arizemendi and Cheese board cooperatives served there), then visit NCLT’s Mariposa Grove (an intentional community structured as a limited equity condominium) and finally OakCLT’s 23rd Avenue project before returning to the Marriott. MAX 50 seats.
OPTION B: Tour B will be a guided BART / walking tour of cooperative projects in the historic Lorin District near ASHBY BART in North Oakland and South Berkeley. You’ll visit Fairview House, a Limited Equity Cooperative founded ~ 1971 and have lunch from local restaurants, followed by a visit to the 1320 Haskell St project (a Limited Equity condominium project) and then visit Mariposa Grove (an intentional community structured as a limited equity condominiums). The total distance walked will be approximately 2 miles with local residents as tour guides.
