Cohousing-L Mailing List: co-housing speaker

[Jyotsna64 (Jyotsna64]

We are a small group in Moscow, Idaho (on the border with Washington state)  
wanting to start a conversation about co-housing in Moscow.  

Moscow is a small, liberal college town with a fantastic food co-op, a  great 
farmer's market, lots of outdoor music, etc. The town is growing and the  
topic of "smart growth" and is on everyone's mind. 

 
We are looking for someone knowledgeable who could speak to the community  
about co-housing and answer questions. We are envisioning an evening program.  
We'd like someone relatively local (or regional) and someone free, but we could 
 work around it if we find someone good who doesn't exactly fit those  
criteria.
 
If there is enough interest after the first program, we would consider  
paying a consultant for a weekend program to get a co-housing community  
started.
 
We are 80 miles south of Spokane, WA and Coeur d'Alene, ID and about  300 
miles east of Seattle and Portland. We would be willing to pay  transportation 
costs (as long as they are reasonable) and provide housing on  this end. 
 
Please let me know of any suggestions for speakers. Please reply directly  to 
my e-mail: _jyotsna64@aol.com_ (mailto:jyotsna64 [at] aol.com) .  Thanks!
