Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: 2 month fall rental in Portland, Oregon cohousing community

[Rebecca Herman (rgherman07]

Hi Debra,

I'm a member of Cathedral Park, the only forming cohousing community in the
St Johns/Cathedral Park neighborhood in Portland, OR. Please check out our
website & consider an information session (twice monthly). I'm currently a
long distance member, living in Berkeley, coincidentally just a few blocks
from the Berkeley Moshav site.

Safe travels & best wishes,
Rebecca
