[papercreters] Re: Post this year's invitations to help build with papercrete here.

 Hello There;

  My name is Robert Merrill (N.E.W. Ark Institute) and as many of you know we play/ work here in the N.E. corner of  Wa. state. I have been sharing Alternative Ark-itecture for many years now and have several opportunities this next year for learning experiences. I do not instruct on any one alternative construction method alone..... but lace them with the relevancy of our cultural needs and add a heavy binder of appropriate passive solar technology.

 #1. Several projects ranging from solar sustainable aqua-culture, retrofit of existing structures, and some ground up new construction. Look at the Hybrid PDF in the files section for a glimpse.

 #2.  Get out a map.... put your finger on the Columbia River as it enters America... whaallaaa!

 #3.  We will be playing all summer long.... Lord willing?!

 #4.  There are few ways in which we as humans learn.... working is one of them. Wanna learn alot? Guess what??

 #5.  Registration fee is $50.00

 #6.  Potential opportunities often arise in these settings. Discussion starts after a time of relationship building.

 #7. & #8.  There are B&B's, campgrounds, resturants, cottages, R.V. parks, and ?? in town.

 #9. By registration application only..... see #5

 #10. E-Mail............. <robertmerrill1953@yahoo.com>
