Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: recruiting (was Normative definitions of cohousing)

[Diane Simpson (dqs]

Fred--why don't you do the "cohousing salon" thing at a local restaraunt?
Surely there must be some outgoing people in your group who'd be willing to
meet people at a local restaraunt once a month to talk about your cohousing
community. I haven't been doing it that long, but so far I've found it to
be a lot easier than giving presentations at libraries. If you have a local
food co-op or school, that's a good place to put up notices.
