Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Are there any Kiwis lurking on this list?

[Chris Hansen (itschrishansen]

Hi Ann
I'm a Kiwi on the Cohousing-L list, although I currently live in Vermont in
Burlington CoHousing, East Village.
Don't know if you will get to Whanganui on the West Coast of the North
Island at all, but there is a truly magnificent Quaker Village out there
that is worth a visit if it's not too much out of your way
www.quakersettlement.co.nz/
You've no doubt already discerned that here's a number of pending CoHousing
developments in NZ- hard to believe it's not taken off like a rocket over
there!

AND- if there's any other Kiwi lurkers, I'd certainly welcome a visit here
in Vermont- will even stretch to making a pavlova!
Cheers
Chris Hansen
