<font face="Arial">Hello everybody<br>
<br>
I absolutely second Rikki's proposal to make Valentina a GSBN
member! <br>
Valentina is a real straw-power-woman, she is highly dedicated to
promote the strawbale vision among architects and university
people in Spain, she is one of our enthousiastic Leonardo partner
members, putting all her knowledge, experience and
networking-capacities in our European SB-project(<b>s</b>, because
we just have finished the application for a second 2-years
Leonardo project to deepen and detail several developed Best
Building Practice SB methods - this we are doing in the first
Leonardo project - and to develop a European SB training program
for craftspeople) !<br>
<br>
Besides all of that, Valentina took our Leonardo team to so many
delicious and trendy restaurants in Barcelona and this makes her
an interesting insider host for anybody, who wants to visit
Barcelona... <br>
<br>
Welcome, Val!<br>
<br>
Gigi, speaking for all the Leonardo partners, I guess<br>

Hi,

<div>I would like to propose Valentina Maini as a new member of
the GSBN. She is an Italian arquitect living in Spain for many
years now, and is a pioneer in getting strawbale buildings
legalized here in Spain. </div>

<div>She is also working with the pan-european "Leonardo Group"
which is working towards getting straw recognized as a building
material on a European level as well as forming a SB training
program.</div>
<div><br>
