Thanks Yvonne!!

DAO has recently started to collect new products from it's members and consolidating all of the information onto one simple spreadsheet.  However, it is always a pleasure to have a student give valuable information that we can all benefit from.  Yvonne recently went to a showroom in Las Vegas that had over 150 exhibitors and was kind enough to share.  Below is the link with all of the vendors that will be helpful with finding materials and finishes!  This link provides the webiste, email address, and phone number for ease of  contact in case you would like to order samples.  Enjoy!

SO MANY EVENTS...SO LITTLE TIME

As we all know the end of the quarter is slowly, but surely approaching. What does that mean? It's about time to lose sleep, pull your hair out, and say goodbye to your social life. But before we do that, let's add some more to your schedule! Previously, we discussed the importance of networking by attending local events. Well here is your chance! ASID, IIDA, and USGBC are having some major events coming up to wrap up the end of the year. These events are a good opportunity to get your face out in the public eye, especially for those of us who are about the graduate and need jobs. Below are some events and links if you need more information. Remember that this list will continue to grow and be updated.

Habitat for Humanity
Suzie Q Blitz Build (October 23 - 30 2010): In January 08, Suzanne Hastings (wife of a Habitat for Humanity crew leader) lost her battle with breast cancer at the age of 36. To honor Suzie’s devotion to community and family, Habitat Hillsborough created the “Suzie Q Blitz Build” – in which a house is built in just 7 days. Part of your donation to the Suzie Q build benefits Moffitt Cancer Center. Together, we can build houses and hope for the cure.

A $20 registration fee includes a t-shirt and lunch. Or you can simply donate.
