Cohousing-L Mailing List: SoCoHo upcoming events (Cotati, CA)

[Eris Weaver (eris]

 We just returned from a great weekend retreat that gave us all a taste of
 how wonderful living in cohousing will be! Singing, playing, watching each
 other's children, preparing and eating amazing meals together were just
 some of what we shared.

 Participation in home design is an opportunity that is still open! And for
 those of you who have already attended one of our meetings, there is still
 time to join and participate in the Common House design workshop.  We hope
 to see you soon!
