2 AIA/WJ A Message from the President Unbelievably the end of the year is almost here. Our last AIA West Jersey membership meeting is scheduled for November 9th, at Cafe Aldo Lamberti in Cherry Hill. This will be our Annual Meeting and election of officers for The continuing education seminar after dinner will focus on Brownfields projects, highlighting a wide range of information any architect should know from what projects fall under the Brownfields criteria to specific details to address during the process. Speakers will include a representative from NJ DEP, as well as architects experienced in completing Brownfields projects. We want to thank Barry Bannett, AIA, for giving a very informative presentation on Architects and the DesignBuild process at our October member meeting. Also, in October, the Annual Scholarship Golf Outing was held at Riverton Country Club. At the dinner that night both scholarship winners were able to attend and presentations were made to honor the awards. Congratulations to scholarship winners Kevin Dummer and Megan O'Reilly. Lastly, invitations will go out soon in the mail for the 2007 Inaugural Gala.

4 AIA/WJ Heart of Camden A Call for Volunteers AIA-West Jersey will be looking for volunteers next spring to assist with the rehabilitation of homes for the Heart of Camden Housing. Heart of Camden, a past recipient of AIA-West Jersey s Community Service Award, is a local non-profit community development corporation dedicated to the revitalization of the South Camden neighborhood known as Waterfront South. They acquire vacant properties and completely rehabilitate them for sale to low-income homeowners. They also prepare the families for homeownership through homeowner counseling, credit counseling and assistance in qualifying for mortgages. Since 1984, over 100 houses have been completely rehabilitated, providing the families with a sense of dignity and independence. While most of the rehabilitation work is performed by professional contractors, volunteers play a vital role in preparing the houses for rehabilitation with clean-up and demolition work to gut the houses. The volunteer work will be performed on a Saturday, beginning at 8:30 am and finishing up at noon. The exact dates of the work days will be scheduled early 2007 and will be announced in this newsletter. For more information, please contact Dave Lummis, ph: (856) or dlummis@ignarrilummis.com.
