Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: cohousing in semi-rural Minnesota near cities

[joey5541research (mikejotodd]

Amy, this sounds like an interesting venture.
Monterey Cohousing (in St. Louis Park MN) has a monthly newsletter we send out 
to people who have attended our quarterly informational sessions on Cohousing, 
and others who have subscribed. We've offered to list other communities that 
are seeking members. Send your request to mholt952[@]gmail[.]com and he will 
post it in the newsletter.
Also - we have an open house coming up this Thursday, April 18th - you might be 
interested in coming. See our web site, MontereyCohousing.org
