Annual Sponsor Picnic at Siebenthaler’s

As the calendar year winds down, AIA Dayton takes this opportunity annually to recognize sponsors for their financial support of the chapter.

Send in Your Nominations for the AIA Dayton Board
If you would like to serve AIA Dayton on its Board of Directors, or if you know of a colleague who may be interested in getting more involved, AIA Dayton is putting together its roster for the 2020 Board of Directors.
We are looking for an AIA member who would like to be Director in charge of Dayton’s continuing education programs. A benefit is you would not have to worry about getting your quota of credits for AIA or Ohio licensure, as our chapter provides annual programming in excess of the required credits! You would also have the satisfaction of contributing to the overall education of the chapter.

Children's Parade Floats Vandalized: Asking for Help to Create Floats
The Downtown Dayton Partnership (DDP) puts on the Dayton Holiday Festival, our community’s kick-off of the holiday season. More than 30,000 people come downtown for this free event. The Children's Parade follows the tree lighting on the night of the festival.
Unfortunately, this summer the floats were vandalized and need a lot of TLC to get them back in usable condition. Especially after the summer our community has had with the tornadoes and shootings, this is not the year for us not to do the parade or dramatically reduce it. For many families, the Dayton Holiday Festival is the only holiday celebration they will have.
The DDP really need your help to make sure the Children’s Parade happens this year. Would you be willing to give a few hours of your time?
We have a few volunteer opportunities:
- October 19th, from 9am-12pm we will be starting the process of rebuilding our floats by tearing down and removing the old, damaged, and broken lights, paper, decorations, and debris from each of our 17 floats.
- November 2nd, from 9am-12pm, or 12pm-3pm we will be starting the rebuilding process. Each float will need a group to attach float paper, new lights, and holiday décor. Instructions and supplies will be provided.
- November 9th, from 9am-12pm we will continue the restoring efforts, decorating Christmas trees, and adding other final touches. Supplies will be provided.
No experience is necessary to help! Wear work gloves (if you have them). Also, feel free to bring any tools along that you might have, but it is not a requirement to help.

America’s Hottest Cities for Urban Planners
There’s no shortage of lists and rankings of “best places” out there: the best cities for millennials, the best neighborhoods to raise kids, the best places to retire, the world’s most livable cities, and on and on. Since CityLab is a publication devoted to cities and urbanism—one that is written by and for people you could call urbanists—I thought it would be fun to develop a metric for the best places for urbanists.
