Tired of shoveling snow, but want to stay in the Sierras?
Wolf Creek Lodge Cohousing offers new options for pro-active adults

Thursday, April 28, 6 pm-7:30
Community Recreation Center, 8924 Donner Pass Road
Truckee, CA

On Thursday, April 28, 6 pm Nevada City Architect Katie McCamant and members of Wolf Creek Lodge will be will host an presentation  in Truckee about on cohousing in general and Wolf Creek Lodge specifically. Members of the Lodge will talk about their individual experiences and why they’ve decided to downsize and move to this walkable, sustainably-built neighborhood.

Many long-term residents of the Sierra’s find the mountain lifestyle can be challenging as they age. Wolf Creek Lodge members didn’t want to leave their beloved Sierra’s but weren’t satisfied with the housing options available as they looked to downsize from their single-family homes.

For instance, Butch and Virginia Thresh own their current home on 15 acres near Nevada City. Both are avid bicycle enthusiast, and Butch typically rides 75 miles a week. Butch taught special education at an alternative high school in Nevada City before retiring. Virginia moved to Nevada City in 1967 and worked at a Quaker boarding high school for many years. Speaking for both of them, Virginia says, “Moving to Wolf Creek Lodge gives us an opportunity to downsize and simplify our lives in addition to living in a supportive community as we age.”

The April 28th event is free but space is limited, so call 530-478-1970 or email to reserve a space.
