Issue?

I am not really sure did we ever had a big problem, or lets say house issue. Of course I can say that we learned many lessons. But all of them in my opinion were lessons that you need to learned when you are living with three other people. Cleaning,shopping and of course communication between us is the hardest work. I think for me and my sister Zosia everything is a little bit easier because we are excellent in co-opperation. But from the other hand it can be blessing in disguise because we need to learn how to work with other housemates.
For me the biggest dilemma constantly is how to attract people. What I consider as our defeat is the fact that in the beginning we started to invite people personally and then we got a little bit lazy so we switch into facebook event mode. I don't think it works in Poland. Because here people like to be invited and informed about programs personally, otherwise they don't feel like come. I think that is the part of our very idiosyncratic jewish-polish psyche. So before all events we need to call and warmly ask them to attend our events.
Another thing is the number of people that we want to attend our events, sometimes we want only 8-10 people for discussion and then (because of our house great fame I suppose ) our small discussion is evolving into 30 guest party in the middle of working week.
So this is the question: Is everytime big amount of guest is good for our house? I think that we cannot find answer to that question now. What is the most important thing that our moishe house is developing himself everyday. That thing I called fame is something amazing because it works constantly beside of our work. It's something that we deserved after all those full of events moths.
