Cohousing-L Mailing List: Mothering Magazine

[Catya Belfer-Shevett (catya]

Hi all,

We've discovered a great advertising/publicity opportunity with Mothering
Magazine for our group, and I want to see if we can expand it to include
other groups as well.

I exchanged email with the VP of advertising, and she is willing to list our
introductory meeting on the website and in the magazine at no charge, in
exchange for sending us copies of Mothering to hand out (for free) at said
introductory meetings.

When I suggested that there would probably be other Cohousing groups
interested in this sort of exchange, she responded that if we could get one
announcement together with a listing of dates and places, she would be
willing to do a general listing for all the interested groups.

So, if there are other groups interested in this, please get in touch with
me and I'll coordinate this - if we can agree on a basic intro paragraph, we
can then list all of our intro meetings / orientation events under it.

I know a lot of groups have commented that they are having trouble finding
families - this would certainly be a good opportunity to reach out to them.

Here's a possible format to start from, targeted a bit for this publication:

Learn about Cohousing!

Cohousing is a type of neighborhood designed and managed by the people who
live there. It combines privacy and community in a clustered,
pedestrian-oriented neighborhood.

Cohousing is child-friendly, and committed to creating wonderful homes for
our children to grow in.
