Meet some CGB Members
Lorraine
Lorraine first heard about cohousing more than 30 years ago. It seemed like an ideal way to live. She checked from time to time to see if any was forming in the Baltimore/Annapolis area. Just before the Pandemic (and her subsequent retirement) she found Cohousing of Greater Baltimore.
Since retiring in 2021 from her job working in Human Resources for her county school system, Lorraine is able to devote more time to Cohousing of Greater Baltimore and helping to turn her dream into a reality.
Although she describes herself as a natural introvert, Lorraine enjoys hiking trips to national parks with a group of women who have hiked together since 2009. They’ve been everywhere from the Jasper ice fields in Canada to Acadia Nationa Park in Maine, and many in between.
Lorraine is also an avid genealogist, bragging that her work, combined with that of a professional genealogist, resulted in a successful application for her father to be accepted into the Sons of the American Revolution. She combined her love of travel and genealogy on several trips to Ireland with her extended family. Originally from Philly, Lorraine followed two of her siblings to Maryland in 1987. Lorraine doesn’t fancy herself a chef, but she looks forward to expanding her repertoire and learning alongside neighbors while they prepare common meals. She cannot wait to live in community!
Sue (She/Her)
Sue has lived in the Baltimore area long enough to feel like she belongs here. She worked in technology for her career and had the opportunity for global travel as part of her job. She's been engaged with cohousing in the Baltimore area since the fall of 2018, and recently rejoined after a two-year break. Since retiring, She increased her volunteering with various groups. Sue is drawn to racial and social justice work. She likes good governance, meditation, and swing dancing. She enjoys cooking, baking, spiritual practice, writing, and playing card and board games. She's taken up sewing and knitting and is having fun learning new skills!

He is retired from the District of Columbia Public Library System.
