[Louise Rausa (louiserausa]

Dear Judy,

My name is Louise Rausa and I live in Sebastopol, CA, with my husband Bob.
We are currently considered "non-resident members" of Two Acre Wood, a
CoHousing community here in Sebastopol, and are on a sign up list for Yulupa
CoHousing which will be built nearby in Santa Rosa.  Both, by the way, are
about one and one-half hours north of San Francisco.

We, the Yulupians (as we call ourselves), have recently had a rather drastic
increase in the prices of the units, which will not be built for at least
another
year... and there could be even further price increases.  At any rate,
several
of us are starting to consider leaving beautiful, sunny, and
oh-so-overpriced-
and-expensive California for, perhaps, Oregon or Washington State.

So, what I guess I'm really saying is that, yes, I would like to be included
in
any information on the progress you're making in Corvalis.  An old friend
from many years ago went to college there and loved it.  Other than that, I
know nothing else about it, but am looking forward to finding out more.

My current e-mail address is LouiseRausa [at] earthlink.net.  At some point
relatively soon, it will change to LouiseRausa [at] sbcglobal.net, just in case
the first address bounces.  My phone number, just in case you're starting a
file, is (707) 829-9675.

Many thanks.  Louise
