Events Georgia AIBD Society August 25 Meeting: To all State Members and Interested Parties,
Gary -- 770-460-6774 (Office) ___ Events Posting For July 28, 2010 Meeting
___ Review and Report of the American Institute of Building Design Georgia Society June State Meeting: The June 19, 2010 state meeting in Savannah was a huge success. At 7:30 AM, with a good turnout in place, we sat out on “The Early Bird’s Walking Tour”. The tour was informative as well as inspirational. Our well versed guide led us on an insightful look into the architectural preferences and construction of Isaiah Davenport. From his well known home on East State Street to the various homes and buildings he constructed, we were familiarized with the history and infused with the imagery of Isaiah Davenport’s time, culture and the city he loved. As always Savannah is hospitable and entertaining. Even though the temperatures were [let us say] elevated, the early morning time frame compensated for the heat. We had an extended meeting in the cool lush garden of the Davenport House, where we were served refreshments. Later, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Pirate’s House [which in and of itself is worth the trip]. I want to thank member spouses for attending; they made a great tour even more enjoyable. The photographs herein are an example of the tour.

January 27, 2010 - AIBD State Meeting Notes The meeting was at the Historic Train Depot in Fayetteville, Georgia. We met there and then walked to the Holliday-Dorsey-Fife Museum, which is housed in the Holliday-Dorsey –Fife House. Deborah Riddle (the docent dressed in period costume) gave a thorough and delightful history of the house and its many inhabitants and visitors. From Doc Holiday through Margaret Mitchell we were told stories of all those who had an impact on Fayette County and Atlanta. Once Deborah completed her talk we were allowed to tour the museum and enjoy its many displays and historical representations. The attendees returned to the Train Station for the meeting and Dinner. The meeting minutes will be posted later under our Committee Reports Area on our web site where you can review in detail the actual meeting. We did have a review of the Mid-year Winter National Meeting held in Las Vegas. Officers for the 2010 year were sworn in and the meeting schedule for the New Year was presented. The dinner was a great meal of Italian cuisine prepared by Anthony’s in Fayetteville. Enjoy the Photos shown here and we look forward to seeing you at the next meeting.
Yours truly, Gary Baumgardner CPBD
