Peggy, it might help if you put something in your message about where Three 
Trails Cohousing is located.

Hi all,

My name is Peggy Johannes. I live in Three Trails Co housing. We are in the 
early stages of forming our community. The property has been purchased, and 
was previously zoned for multiple dwellings. Currently there are several 
rental properties, one of which my friend and I live in. It is a pre-civil 
war stage coach inn. The common house is a 1900's Vintage house, it is 
currently being remodeled. We currently have several rental properties 
available.
We are unsure how to get the word out, and get people interested in the 
community. We are planning a 4th of July BBQ, and watching a local fire 
works display. Which is set up 1 block away from our community. Any 
suggestions would be welcome. I do know that several people are turned off 
by the amount of remodeling work which is going on. I don't know may be they 
are unable to visualize the potential. I'm attaching some photos of our work 
in progress.

Thanks so much...
