Cohousing-L Mailing List: Follow up after Cue meeting

[Melanie Mindlin (sassetta]

I believe my request is for Diana concerning this letter.  You refer to a 
handout called Alliances, Petitions and the Three Treasures of Community.  I 
would love to get a copy of this document.  I think it could be useful for my 
community.

Thanks,
Melanie
