[GBlist] Strawbale raising 6/22 Northern Cal

[Barbara Linn <barblinn@uswest.net>]

Please see the following information on the fundraiser/baleraiser on
Saturday June 22 in Grass Valley, Ca.
I am the architect on the project and I wish I could be there to learn
more from Keith Robertson (chief).
I will be on vacation during this date, but will be there in spirit.

Brenda and Chuck are very well organized and will ensure an enjoyable
time by all.  The site is incredible.
Go look at the project website for more info:

Hope you can make it! You will learn, you will enjoy and most
importantly you will be helping others.
