Oh Andrea,

How wonderful. At JP Cohousing in Boston, we will soon be blessed with our 
first, two post-move in babies. I'm eagerly looking forward to your replies. 
When have you typically found people holding this celebration?

Subject: [C-L]_ Baby Welcoming Celebrations


We here at Nevada City Cohousing have the great joy of welcoming some new 
born members into our community.  Many years ago, I attended a Baby 
Welcoming Celebration which I found quite enjoyable but can't remember all 
the things we did at the celebration.  One of the components which I do 
recall was for the community members to write letters to the baby to be 
opened on his/her 12th birthday.
