Subject: Invitation to Bill Mollison Workshop

Dear Friend,

I would like to invite you to a 3-day workshop by Dr. Bill Mollison, the
founder of Permaculture,
October 10-12, 2000 in NW Louisiana. His course precedes a Permaculture
Design Certificate Course
offered October 16-28 by Geoff Lawton, appointed Director of the
Permaculture Research Institute
by Mollison in 1997. These events will mark the beginning of the
demonstration center being established
at this site.

Internationally renowned teacher and author of seven books, Dr.
Mollison, called the Father of
Permaculture, is stepping out of retirement to teach a three-day
Permaculture course at the
Northwest Louisiana Commerce Center.

http://www.nwlcc.com

This course supports efforts to develop a North American demonstration
of sustainable
agriculture and commerce at the deactivated Louisiana Army Ammunition
Plant, where plans
are under way to renovate the area for Permaculture practices.

Please see the attached invitation and registration form. Please contact
me if you cannot open
these forms and would like to receive information by mail.

Workshop: Early Registration - $350, After Sept. 1 - $395 (Student Price
- $295)

PDC: Early Registration - $795, After Sept. 1 - $995

Package: Early Registration - $1000, After Sept. 1 - $1200

Permaculture education includes principles and practices of sustainable
soil, water, crop, forest,
architectural, business and finance systems, ethical investment,
community loan support and
small business management.

Permaculture, from PERMAnent agriCULTURE, is an integrated system of
design including not
only agriculture, horticulture, architecture and ecology but also land
access strategies and economic
systems for small businesses and communities.

Taken from the Latin, permanens, to endure or persist through time and
cultura,
cultures - permaculture is an interdisciplinary design science focused
on sustainable
system design. Sustainable systems are defined as those that, over their
lifetime, produce
energy equivalent to or in excess of what they consume.

Permaculture operates on three ethics: care of the earth, care of the
species and return of
excess to the first two.

Sincerely,

Victor A. Guadagno
