Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Pleasant Hill Cohousing - A Mystery

[Susan L. Hedgpeth (hedgpeth]

Dear members of cohousing-L,

As a member of Pleasant Hill Cohousing (though not the person who posted
the message), I want to extend our profuse apologies for keeping anyone up
late last night trying to figure out where we are located!  In future
messages we will be sure to identify our community at the top of the
message.  Probably something more like this (other suggestions are welcomed):

Pleasant Hill Cohousing
Pleasant Hill, California
Central Contra Costa County
Northern California - San Francisco Bay Area

Hopfully our oversight won't prevent anyone from checking us out.  We are a
great group of people, and a great project which is currently under
construction.  We are watching the building spring up from the ground and
it's very exciting!  There is more info on our website:

Best regards,
Susan Hedgpeth
currently of Oakland, California

P.S.  If you come to the Cohousing Conference in July in Berkeley,
California, our site will be one of the stops on Joani Blank's tour of
cohousing communities in the area.
