Cohousing-L Mailing List: DC Green Fest: free tix for cohousers this weekend

[Raines Cohen (rc3-coho-L]

Greetings, DC-area cohousers and cohousing seekers. Please pass this on to
your friends and group lists, where appropriate. Raines Cohen, here,
visiting from Berkeley (CA) Cohousing, enjoying your lovely region once
again (it helps that 85% of my living relatives on both sides of the family
are in this area), and happy to have seen a bunch of old familiar faces in
several groups. I'm writing because I'm coordinating a cohousing presence
co-sponsored by your regional association, Mid-Atlantic Cohousing (MAC), in
a shared booth at the Green Festival this weekend: booth #118 to be exact
(sharing with "Ecolocity DC" in Hall D of the DC Convention Center), 10-6
Saturday and Sunday, and as a result I've got some free daypasses for the
festival. Yes, I know some of you are going to a regional planning meeting
at Takoma Village Cohousing from 10-2 on Sunday, but you can come on down
afterwards, or come by on Saturday. If you're interested, please drop me a
line off the list, and I'll let you know how to get 'em. While we'd be
delighted to have you come by the booth and relax for a bit so people can
see how mellow you can get while living in cohousing, I mostly want to make
sure that any interested cohousers get a chance to come to the show and
connect. There's a bunch of exciting speakers and lots of interesting
booths. You can learn more at: http://www.GreenFestivals.org/ Raines Cohen,

Congratulating Concord EcoVillage cohousing on its show of support from the
West Grove (PA) borough council this week: a very well-received,
professional presentation won them over in short order; I've never seen a
regulatory body ask a developer "how can we be a partner?" and look for ways
to streamline zoning approval before!

and wishing HundredFold Farm good luck in its busy Christmas-tree selling
season; hopefully there will be time to host visitors when I'm back after
the rush.
