Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: announcement - design cds

[Laura Fitch, A.I.A. (lfitch]

Since writing the announcement below, we have decided to make the "What 
is Cohousing" presentation free and downloadable from our website and 
others.  It may take us a month or so to make this happen (what with the 
holidays), so if you want something sooner then I will send you a cd for 
a suggested donation of $5.00 for shipping and handling.  The other 
"design" presentations will be $25 each or $80 for the package.

Thank you for your interest.
