WELCOME:
A strategic plan to move cohousing forward

by Rick Mockler, Coho/US President-Elect
Muir Commons, Davis, Calif.

Welcome back from summer travels and activities! I hope that it has been
a time of adventure or rest, or perhaps a combination of the two. My
family spent several weeks in tents, a cabin and an earthen lodge as we
toured the western states. We had a wonderful time, but were all ready
to return to our home at Muir Commons in Davis, Calif.

In the most recent issue of Cohousing magazine, we introduced our new
Community Partners program and included a link to our new strategic
plan. In this issue I'd like to share some highlights of the plan, which
offers a map of where we plan to go from July 2004 to June 2006. If you
haven't yet done so, I encourage you to download the document so that
you can view the full strategic plan for yourself.

A Tour is worth a Thousand (or more) Words
by Joani Blank
Swan's Market Cohousing, Oakland, CA

Those involved in cohousing know the difficulty of describing what
cohousing is to those who are unfamiliar with it. We're usually busily
explaining what cohousing is not. These explanations don't hold a candle
to the impact of showing friends, relatives and other visitors around
our communities.
