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

[Rick Gravrok (rick.gravrok]

We in the Twin Cities (Mpls & St. Paul, MN) created the Twin Cities
Cohousing Network (TCCN) in 1990 or so.
After Monterey Cohousing Community was founded in 1992, the TCCN faded.
It was recently restarted last year as more interest has grown.
