Dear Cooperators,

Here is my annual "gratuitous faculty advice"letter, that I send every Labor Day. This year I send it a week early.
The letter is long so I'll be brief:

1) I cannot thank you enough for your support over the years. Relying on a transient group of students and alumni for one's primary support group is a bit risky, but I am honored to be an integral part of this community, and very grateful for individual and collective support. Thank you! I will keep on trying to pay it forward.

Dear Cooperators,

Here is the new Cervantes House Rules and Residential Membersihip agreement, along with the original 2005 version. Please note the last clause:

"s) THE BOOK OF LOVE [BOOK OF CO-]: Residents are encouraged to volunteer for tasks above and beyond the call of duty, to help the Cervantes House and the rest of the Cooperative Network and greater community. These extra hours are called Love Hours (or Co- Hours) and are recorded in the Book of Love (also called the Book of Co-). Generally we get back what we give."

In the cyclical spirit we are going to end this semester the way it began, with a good old fashioned Open Mic.

So come enjoy performing, food, ambiance, and friends as we share our passions, tea and cookies one last time this semester.

In another classic rendition of the Coop Cafe we have eleven musicians coming to show some of their classical music prowess!

A regular open mic will precede the event (as per usual) and we will also be enjoying the cookies and tea that have warmed our hearts and stomachs this semester.

Hope to see you there (and not square)
