Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohousing outreach lesson for the day: Be reachable

The Songaia Cohousing Directory listing has often been the single
largest source of traffic to the Songaia Cohousing website. Times when
it has not have been when we've advertised on Coho/US or received
press coverage.
