Next Meeting

Hi all,

I am running out of places for us to meet at our regular lunch meeting. If you have a place you'd like to try out, let me know. If not, we could always go back to the usual spots. Our next meeting is Tues, Sept 18th @ noon. Don't forget.

As for the architecture tours. I believe Jon Denton is the organizer???

There's another event coming up that I think is very exciting. I am trying to coordinate a tour to the Weyerhauser building in Federal Way, WA. This is one of SOM's major design that has won a lot of awards.

It will possibly be an after-work event with a tour of the building, presentations on their green products and a reception. Let me know if anyone is interested. We might likely combine our group with the AIA continuing education people.

I will keep everyone posted.

Habitat for Humanity

Hi Everyone!!!

I know this is short notice but I'm doing Habitat again this Saturday if anyone would like to join me. The house that I worked on last week had finished exterior and interior framing but they still had the roof trusses that needs to be frame and sheath as well.

Again, those that volunteered last time does not need any additional papers. First timers, however, do need them.

Lunch at Harmon

Hi Everyone,

We met at the Harmon today for lunch. Not many attended. We talked about having ARE study sessions and IDP. I think its safe to say that we're all at different stages in the processes. It was decided that the next ARE session should be at the AIA office or somewhere relatively quiet with the possiblility of going out for some cocktails afterwards. Jon Denton is going to look into organizing a themed architectural tour of Tacoma that would be opened up to all AIA members.

Please use the Google group as a communication tool. If you have questions about IDP or anything, post it to the group and anyone can respond. Same goes for any ideas you may have for the group.

Thank you,
Kellie Kaiser
