Local Online Firm Finder
Your firm featured where clients can find you
AIA TB is offering a new marketing opportunity for your firm! All members are invited to have their firm listed in AIA TB's new Referral website finder.

Get creative, help stop hunger

entirely from canned foods. Over 6 million pounds of food

Canstruction’s 1st annual New Port Richey Design/Build Competition
puts a visual spotlight on hunger while showcasing the Hillsborough, Pinellas

Designers and Students attending
Schools of Architecture, Engineering
and Design. Canstruction will take place in March of 2008 in New Port Richy. All proceeds will benefit the Volunteer Way Food Bank. Entry fee is $100. More information and entry form here. Questions? Please contact Martha at 727.815. 0433.
