Message from Linda & Ianto - Cob Cottage part time position

[shani abell]

Dear Linda and Ianto,
  Has the part-time position been filled?  I am currently in New
England, but have attended work parties in Cottage Grove with a strong
urge to apply for an apprenticeship.  However, as life winds like a
wind-twirling river of gusty white caps and calm cool mornings, I have
yet to be in the appropriate place. If the position is open, I would
love to be considered for the job.  I have strong organizational
skills, tremendous enthusiasm to learn and little actual building
experience.  Let me know if I can be of service.  Shani Abell
