Last week I announced that the Mid Summer Conference will take place August 7-9, 2014. This year's theme is "Reunion-- Old Friends and New Experiences" so if you have never attended, or if it has been a few years, I hope you will consider making the Mid Summer Conference your new summer tradition.
Have a great week and remember to contact me anytime with your ideas or if you would like to join a committee!

| AIA Huron Valley: "50 Years, 50 Buildings, 50 Ideas for the Future" |
HURON VALLEY TURNS 50!Greetings for the New Year! 2014 is a significant year for the AIA Huron Valley Chapter as we commemorate 50 Years since the formation of our Chapter in December 1964. Our anniversary celebration will focus on the theme "50 Years, 50 Buildings, 50 Ideas for the Future". There will be several events throughout the year centered around this theme, but the Guide to Ann Arbor Architecture deadline is fast approaching! For the "50 Buildings" portion of our year's theme, we will be expanding our existing "Guide to Ann Arbor Architecture" to include 50 significant buildings from the Huron Valley Region, and distributing this entire collection in a medium fit for 2014: a geo-located mobile app! Currently, our existing brochure includes 35 notable architectural works, so we're looking for an additional 15 submissions of significant/influential Architectural works, built within the Huron Valley Region (Jackson, Lenawee, Livingston, Monroe and Washtenaw Counties).If you know of a building that deserves to be included, please submit the information noted below by 5 pm on February 21 via email [email protected]. All submissions will be considered for inclusion, and 15 will be selected for publication this year. As there are likely to be an excess of 15 submissions worthy of inclusion, we are also considering making this app a continually updated resource, that is, additional works of architecture can be added in future years through a similar vetting process. Thank you for your participation and we look forward to receiving your submissions.
