Cohousing-L Mailing List: Two young Cohousers win first prize in a national video-documentary contest!

[Joani Blank (jeblank]

Friends,

Cohousers and UUOaklanders,

Check out this article and see the short documentary made by two 
remarkable young women. (They won first place in the Middle School 
division of a documentary contest for young videographers sponsored by 
C-Span to which 2882 videos were submitted!)

What the article doesn't tell you is that these talented sisters were 
raised and still live with their parents, Molly and Peter Lazar, in a 
cohousing community, Shadowlake Village, in Blacksburg, VA! Each of them 
is one of us.

I'm privileged to know the Lazar family a little bit better than most 
Cohousing-l readers do, and I feel as proud of Mia and Ava Lazar as I 
would if they had grown up in my own cohousing community. I expect that 
other cohousers reading this and seeing their 1st Prize 7.5 minute 
documentary will feel the same way.

p.s. Mia and Ava's Dad, Peter Lazar is on the Board of the Cohousing 
Association. Thanks for your service, Peter.
p.p.s. The Lazars are active members of their local Unitarian Church, 
and have been leaders in SUUSI (Southeast U.U. Summer Institute) for 
many years, so I'm posting this on my Oakland UU Church's listserv as well.



for many years.
