Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Help Selling Units

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Hello Kelly and Stuart --

In re: your VT Cohousing Organization.  Have you see the Mid Atlantic
Cohousing (MAC) website?  We are a regional group serving communities from
NC to PA.  We have 13 communities in the organization.  By pooling our
resources we are able to provide workshops, advertising, events, bus tours,
marketing and outreach and a bunch of fun stuff too!

Take a look at our Annual Report for 2005.

http://www.cohomac.org

Click on "Members" on the Nav button on the left.  There's also a link on
this page to the Annual Report for 2004.

Good luck to you in organizing your communities in VT.  The synergy created
among communities and individuals takes a great leap forward!  Let me know
if I can help.

Best --
