Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Building Management Team

[Barbara Brant (bbrant124]

Yes, absolutely interested. We are discussing our HVAC system now. My husband 
is on the Common Facilities team and unfortunately fell while skiing today and 
broke his femur so he will be missing some meeting. But we need some help with 
this and would welcome being added to the list.
Thanks, Barbara - Aria Cohousing, Denver CO
