Cohousing-L Mailing List: Sunday brunch with Fred the sysop in Boston proposed

[Fred H Olson WB0YQM (fholson]

Hi, 

I'm Fred Olson and I call myself the "sysop" of Cohousing-L
since I do maintenance functions for the discussion list.  Thru this
I've met many folks and enjoyed the contacts.  Last summer
while on vacation in New England I visited the New View folks thru 
contacts made thru Cohousing-L.

I'll be in the Boston area on vacation in September and am proposing
an informal brunch/discussion/visit on Sunday morning September 18th. 
for any cohousers in the area who'd be interested and particularly for 
interested Cohousing-L subscribers.  Tho cohousing-L has interesting 
discussions; it does not compare to meeting folks in person.

Our Twin Cities Cohousing Network did an event that combined social and 
issue discussion aspect with Bruce Coldham, from the NE Cohousing Quarterly 
and cohouser from Amherst, MA when he was here a while back. It was very 
pleasant.  I'm using this as a model though I don't claim to be as 
interesting a resource as Bruce.  Part of the rationale is that
it will give Boston area Cohousing-L subscribers a chance to meet each
other.

The details have yet to be worked out.  Watch here for further details.
I have corresponded with a few folks about it but was losing track of who 
I'd talked to and who I should write to so decided to go ahead and make an 
announcement here to hopefully cover all the bases.

A volunteer to firm up the plan is needed.  It could be as simple as 
picking a restaurant tho a more friendly site with a potluck or something
might be nice.  Email me if you're inclined to take this on.  

Fred
