An important reminder to those of you within reach of Boston and  
beyond....

Oct 24: Boston Area Cohousing tour AND traveling up to Nubanusit  
Neighborhood & Farm in Peterborough, NH!

Join us on this "traveling Cohousing workshop" and New England Fall  
tour of five (5) Cohousing communities in and around the Boston area.  
Massachusetts is home to several new and well-aged Cohousing  
communities.

As you travel between each location on a comfortable bus, your guide,  
in this case Laura Fitch of Kraus Fitch Architects in Amherst, long  
time cohousing resident and architect, and one of our most  
knowledgeable and highly respected professionals in the Cohousing  
movement, will give participants a chance to introduce themselves,  
share general information about cohousing, answer questions, provide  
fact sheets and site plans, and prepare you for your ~40-minute visit  
to each community. At each stop, a community host will guide your  
group through his or her neighborhood and answer questions. On this  
tour you will visit these five communities:


        • Mosaic Commons (Berlin, MA) - 34 units, 65 acres, completed in 2008
	• Camelot Cohousing (Berlin, MA) - 34 units, 68 acres, completed in  
2008
	• New View Cohousing (Acton, MA) - 24 units, 20 acres, completed in  
1995
	• Nubanusit Neighborhood & Farm (Peterborough, NH) - 29 units, 70  
acres, completed in 2008
	• Cambridge Cohousing (Boston, MA) - 41 units, 2 acres, completed in  
2001

The cost includes a delicious common meal (lunch) which you will enjoy  
at the Nubanusit Neighborhood & Farm. The tour will meet at Alewife  
commuter station (At the end of the Red Line and at the intersection  
of Alewife Brook Parkway and Cambridge Park Drive) in Cambridge. At  
the end of the day the bus will return to Alewife. We look forward to  
having you join us for a day full of learning, community building and  
fun!
