<td style="width: 83.4559%; height: 127px; padding: 10px;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">The heart of any cohousing community or ecovillage is the common house -- a space that's shared by residents, where they can gather and enjoy each other's company. While we don't have an actual common house where we can meet right now, we can provide an online space where we can socialize, sharing our ideas and experiences -- a virtual common house -- a place where we can hang out, get to know each other better and plan for the future. If this sounds good to you, please <a href="https://delvalcoco.org/vch-register/">visit the Virtual Common House page and sign up</a> to receive notifications of scheduled events and get-togethers. It's completely free and open to anyone pursuing the dream of co-living in the Delaware Valley.</span></td>

All change starts with a vision that inspires people to the point where they begin finding ways to manifest that vision.</span></span></span></span>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">There's a great need to create opportunities for people to share their lives in affordable living spaces, in both urban and rural settings. To that end the project proposal under consideration is an important starting point. Please review these ideas -- if you feel inspired by them and want to join us in pursuing this dream, we welcome your involvement and input.</span></p>
