Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohousing-L Digest, Vol 112, Issue 16

[Diana Leafe Christian (diana]

Thank you, Ann.
I'll find out which community was completed in 2001 (Laughton Lodge,  
maybe, and I'll be doing a workshop there), and who the man was that  
you met, and his email address.

And I'll pass along the message,"We're ALL coming to visit," and will  
let them know that Coho-L has 900 or so posters and lurkers, and thus  
they will have a _lot_ of visitors. ;)

        Diana
