Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: mailing lists

[Barry Krusch (bak]

Great! I've in contact with Don Lindemann of the CoHousing Network, and
we discussed coordinating a national CoHousing marketing effort. This
would involve sharing a huge database of names, sharing marketing expenses,
coordinating national co-housing public relations, etc.

Our group, Westwood CoHousing, is in the marketing phase. We are prepared
to contribute at least $500, and probably $1000 initially to get the ball
rolling. If there are 10 other groups who can join us, that gives us
$10,000 to run ads in THE NATION, MOTHER JONES, HARPER'S, etc., and to get
some PR articles for CoHousing, radio talk shows, TV, etc.

Interested parties can contact me at bak [at] ioa.com.

Let me know ASAP. We'd like to get this thing rolling within two months.
