Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: cooperatives and cohousing

[Liz Ryan Cole (lizryancole]

thanks.  The Hanover (NH) Food Coops are sponsoring a coop expo as  
part of their annual meeting (April 13)  I just found out about it  
and offered to do a table on cooperative cohousing. In NH we have  
enabling legislation for cooperative trailer parks, but nothing  
else.  I'd love to see every New England state have coop legislation,  
without reinventing the  NY problems.

If I get invited to put a panel together I'll contact these coops.

and I am coming to Seattle (I am presenting in Spokane June 23-25 and  
then coming to Seattle) and look forward to the tours.
