SOLE Out of the Box Preamble

There is some redundancy--But Sweet! Thanks everyone! In my discussions with my local partner, he feels strongly that we cannot use the name ‘cooperative’ because of the blind fear of anything labeled ‘communist’ or ‘socialist’. I know. One thought I had was calling it a “Cyber Grange” following on the best models of the Cyber Cafe, but connecting it to the social and agricultural heritage of the community, and emphasizing the Kitchen. The Kitchen is the basis of a Grange. See http://www.nationalgrange.org/ there’s not much on it I could find in a quick search http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grange. Here in Vermont every town has a grange, a meeting hall with a beautiful kitchen and an upstairs studio space. They were the social hubs of the agricultural era.
