Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: How did you start your cohousing group & find members?

[Alice Alexander (alicecohous]

Gary, I echo all this good advice.

I encourage your community to create a profile and be listed on the
Cohousing Directory; this is complimentary! Also consider advertising with
a "seeking members" classified ad, just $50 per month.

Here are two resources on www.cohousing.org you may find enlightening, one
just posted this morning! There are more under the Marketing tag

Coming Full Circle with the National Conference and the Importance of
Consultation <http://www.cohousing.org/node/4874> - everyone should read
this, it's a wow!

Gary, please let me know how Coho/US could be helpful to you!
