Hi Everyone,
I would like to find out about any information on co-ops or apprenticeships
available in the Rhode Island/Narrangansett Bay area. I will be graduating
in May from University of Florida and if a co-op is not available I am
interested in starting one. Replies can be sent to me directly or clayart.

Thanks,
Jackie Johnson

>Jackie, Are you speaking of a formal co-operative where each member has
one vote,regardless of the 'shares' purchased? If so,then the Co-operative
Societies can give you all the information you wish...or simply go to your
local food co-op,feed co-op,etc.
If you are speaking of a 'loose' agreement among a few
persons...beware and hammer down any agreement. You can be left holding the
bag as the studio economy and the interests, of participants wax and wane.
