Hello (from New Mexico0

*Just want to say I`m very happy with the list.
*Feel free to hold the next European gathering at our place in 
France if you like.
*Coralie and I just attended the Builders Without Borders 
workshop and I believe it was a great succes. They/we are 
looking into giving a workshop in Europe/France next year.
I`ll write more on our SB adventures in this part of the world 
when I have some more computer time. Suffice it to say we are 
having a great time, meeting lots of great people and 
collecting lots and lots of material for the website and CDrom.

Bye, and have a wonderful gathering.
Andre
