Thank you for your interest in DOCOMOMO and the development of our Greater Philadelphia Chapter. We will be having our kick-off meeting for the Chapter on January 19th at 7pm at my 1950 Norman Rice Historic home in East Falls at 3421 W. School House Lane, Philadelphia. I appreciate all of the efforts that you have made to preserve our architectural treasures and look forward to the common mission and comraderie of our wonderful members. We have many items in the works and an agenda will be issued to you in advance as well as a dial-up number for those who are not able to attend in person.
Some of the highlights include:
· Co-Founder, Stephen Anderson is compiling (from several sources) a composite list of signifcant structures.
· Bobbie Tilkens-Fisher is generating a list of ideas for our upcoming website, to make it interactive, informative and visually stunning.
· Ben Leech, Director of Advocacy , Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia, has accepted an Ex-Officio membership in our Chapter.
· John Gallery has asked our Chapter to serve as a Modernism advisory committee for the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia.
· Craig Wakefield, Bobbie Tilkens-Fisher and others are coordinating a Modernist Home Tour featuring homes in Delaware County which will be held in May 2011. The proceeds of the tour will be used to build our website.
