The Never Ending Raffle
Joe Collie reports that the bike was again advertised in the Laconia Daily Sun
this past week. There were a couple of nibbles but, so far, no bites. The bike
will next be advertised in The Citizen if a lead, earlier in the week,
does not pan
out.
Paul Cotton reported on his findings at Harley Davidson dealerships over the past weekend. The board will discuss the bike at next week’s meeting. Paul noted, while out shopping, he picked himself up a new bike (see below).

GUEST SPEAKERS
Meeting at One Mill Plaza, the club saw a presentation by the NH
Chapter of the American Institute of Architecture. Speakers were Sonya Misiaszek
and Tom House. AIA is a professional organization that helps educate the public
about architecture and it’s role in society. 90% of architects in this
country belong to AIA and more than 200 are licensed in New Hampshire. The
mission of the organization is to act as advisories to the public on architecture,
educate the public, and strive for design excellence. Tom showed displays of
the recent winners at the AIA awards, which have been handed out since 1983.
Tom is a jury for the awards and he is also the coordinator of the intern development
program for emerging professional architects. Sonya outlines 3 outreach initiatives
undertaken by the group. These include the Learning By Design program, which
is targeted at 4th graders with an interest in architecture; the Box City program,
in which whole schools, grade 5 down through kindergarten plan entire communities
in scale using boxes and other materials; and the Environmental Guild, which
is working on “green buildings” and new technologies in design
and architecture. Sonya can be reached at sonya@misiaszekturpin.com and Tom
is available at thouse@osullivanarchitects.com. By the way…ask Joe Adrignola
where Sonya’s office is located.
