Cohousing-L Mailing List: Request for note to be included in the listserv

[Gina Sharar (gsharar]

Hi, my name is Gina Sharar and I’m from Prairie Hill cohousing. Could you 
please post the following announcement in this week’s listserv? Thank you so 
much! 

Most of you readers know what cohousing is, about its antidote to loneliness, 
its environmental and community benefits, so I won’t focus on those. What I 
WILL focus on instead is cohousing in Iowa! As a native Californian myself, I 
never thought I’d move to Iowa of all places, but I have learned to appreciate 
this progressive city I now call home – Iowa City, an almost perfect city in my 
opinion with top-notch medical (and walking distance from our neighborhood), 
little traffic in town or to an airport (CID) with direct flights to major 
airports around the country, fantastic cultural and educational opportunities, 
and in our little community itself, some of the best people I’ve ever met. We 
live on almost 8 acres of land – all free of any herbicide or pesticide – with 
a large garden and orchard and one of the best views in Iowa City. Our focus is 
on native plants (and thus the name, Prairie Hill!) with the lawn alternative 
buffalo grass whose deep roots stabilize our soil and survive droughts. On 
Saturday, March 22nd, we will be holding a virtual open house where you can 
view our land, our buildings and talk with some of our members. We would love 
to meet you and share our love of our homes with you.
