Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cash gifts to community?

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Hello everyone — Happy New Year to all —

Just a little request that people remember to include your community in your 
emails.  

Diana, I don’t know where you are from but I would sure like to know!  :-)

Putting your community’s name in your signature block would be very helpful.  I 
know some folks use the Subject line or the 1st line of their post.  Signature 
block would be more  uniform but it’s helpful wherever you put it.

Thanks!

Best --
