Congratulations, Grace!

I can't remember if I posted the announcement or not but I was a judge!!! 
(In a different category, obviously!)  When I looked at the criteria for 
this awards program I thought:  cohousing communities could sweep these 
awards.  PLUS they have a really hard time getting enough entries so the 
competitive field would be to cohousing's advantage.

When the new Awards info is posted this year I hope more cohousing 
communities will enter.  I think the community has to have been finished 
w/in the last year to qualify so this would be for new coho communities. 
But I'm not 100% sure!

Congrats again, Grace!
