Excerpt: The Neighbourhood Gossip: The External Affairs Representative (by (author) Lana Guzman; photographs by Edgar Guzman)
The cooperative was relatively new, only three months old. Many people had just moved in, some of them days prior to that meeting. That particular meeting was a third one in a row. Since new people were arriving to the meeting every time, the affairs of the cooperative had to be discussed and voted upon over and over again. At that third meeting, as per the director's estimate, at least one member of each of the thirty families was present. The director was sincerely hoping that they would be able to go ahead with discussing the new business of the cooperative instead of repeating, and re-voting, what was discussed and voted upon in the previous meetings. As much as the director wanted to go ahead, he realized it would be unfair to not include all of the members of the cooperative in all of the discussions for a simple reason of them being in the middle of a move from their previous place.
