Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: How did the MA cohousing bus tour go on Nov. 6?

[Jim Snyder-Grant (jimsg]

I had the same impressions as Laura.  I was one of two hosts at New View 
(Acton, MA).  The guests asked good questions (they must have been 
prepped well on the bus ride out, and they had sheets with the basic 
info about New View, so we didn't have to go over the basics).  We were 
able to show them 2 houses & the common house, although it was over too 
quickly.  Better than the alternative though...

where we just passed our annual condo budget - whew!  The steering 
committee & finance committee still have to figure out whether a tractor 
replacement can come out of our condo reserves before we have the final 
numbers for the 2005 condo fees. And we've had some good parties 
recently.  Even a surprise parade, for a neighbor's 45th birthday.
