Jamie Donahoe wrote from Hong Kong last week - isn't it cool to communicate in real time across the planet? Jamie's a co-founder of the Heritage Conservation Network, a non-profit based in Boulder, CO. HCN organizes international hands-on workshops for architectural and site conservation - in effect, mini-vacations where you can work on actually saving a local heritage asset, while visiting pretty unusual places around the world. You can learn lots of restoration techniques and meet an international cast of fellow participants!
Jamie needs volunteers, in particular, to help save a quintessential American town - Cairo, IL. In the June sessions, they are collaborating on a project to create affordable housing by preserving and rehabilitating a group of historic "shotgun" style houses. Why not vacation right in the heart of America, and help save one of our historic communities? You can register at their web site www.HeritageConservationNetwork.net/ws-cairo.htm. Let your friends know about this program, too!
Jamie, thanks a bunch for wring & passing along our info to your partners. Keep us informed!
Adios..
