Core group meeting about land acquisition

Possible multi-gen cohousing near the Green Line

A group of like-minded folks has identified a potential cohousing site close to University Ave W shops and the Green Line's Raymond Station. The vision is for a multi-generational community in the South St. Anthony Park neighborhood of St. Paul.
 
The group's members are getting serious about doing cohousing in this vicinity, have been talking with developers, and before acquiring this particular site, they have invited members of other core groups, as well as those interested in cohousing but not yet in a core group, to see if there might be interest in working together on a community there.

At this information event, the group will talk about their vision, the potential site, next steps, and how you might be able to get involved.

If you are interested but unable to attend, see contact info below.

Meeting time:
7:00-8:30 p.m. Thurs., Aug. 30, 2018 (come early to gather; starts promptly at 7:00 p.m.)
Meeting location:
735 Raymond Avenue (next to Dual Citizen Brewery)

Successful Aging workshops start Sept 8 - St Paul group now called "SAGE Living"

Having met now for about a year, the recently renamed Saint Paul core group is set for a deeper dive with a 10-part series of Saturday morning workshops specifically aimed at people considering senior cohousing, and they invite you to join them. SAGE (as in "SAGE Living") stands for "Successfully Aging as a Group Endeavor." (There is a cost to attend; see below.)

Making progress on and finding compatriots to help navigate your journey of successful aging and cohousing exploration can be difficult. These workshops provide that opportunity. Register today. Sponsored by SAGE Living and facilitated by cohousing educator Lynn Englund from the Hopework consulting group.

When: Saturdays 9:30 to 11:30 am, Sept. 8 to Nov. 17, 2018
Where: Friends Meeting House, 1725 Grand Avenue, St Paul. Cost: $250 per person, with $150 deposit due at time of enrollment and the $100 balance due by the start date.
