Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Reserves, Reservations, Mutual Aid and Pricing

[Liz Ryan Cole (lizryancole]

Sorry to bother you, but while I have Nuts and Bolts on my calendar I do not 
see a confirmation.  Will the software catch me if I register twice?  Would 
there have been a confirmation sent?  From what address?  (I assume topic would 
be Nuts and Bolts and I don’t see one)

Thanks
