Alpha Farm

Support and Conversation AF-D1

Alpha was never intended to be a place of self-congratulatory, contended people. Rather the ideal we live by insists upon a thorough personal house-cleaning. The whole point is to live our highest values with vigor and dedication. Our way of "changing the world" is to become "valuable" because of those values. As such we are a resource and a stimulant for others who are receptive. This is our mandate, both individually and as a unit.

New Member Orientation Check-List DN-D1
Name

As a new member, you will be learning the ropes of living and working here as a member, taking a share of responsibility for our business, our farming operation, and our daily life in community. This check-list outlines the various areas that you will be responsible for familiarizing yourself with over the next few weeks. The Managers of the various areas will be glad to spend the necessary time with you to show or explain what you need to know, but it is up to you to take the initiative to make this happen. If, a month from now, you still don't know how to take an order over the phone or where to look for the Community Meeting Notes, it will be because you have not pursued this knowledge, not because someone else has neglected to show you. This check-list is intended to help you keep track of what you have and haven't followed up on; please use it! If you have any questions about this process, don't hesitate to ask the Membership Manager(s).

Clarifying Points On Membership And Visitorship DN-D5

Dandelion Community Behavior Code - Intro. DN-E

Dandelion's behavior code is a set of agreements that we have come to live by. Dandelion has a specific code, specifying both positive and negative behavior, in order to give visitors and members a clear idea of what behavior are considered desirable and undesirable.

This code is by no means a set of "laws" to be enforced; it is a set of voluntary agreements which we all feel are important to the style and quality of life in the community. Joining the community means joining that consensus.
