Historic Tacoma Old House Lecture Series Goes Green in April!

Historic Tacoma's Old House lecture series is going GREEN! in 2008

The annual Old House lecture series is discussing eco-friendly and green remodeling this year. Three lectures will be held in April.

 

I am excited that Historic Tacoma is continuing to promote and educate about historic renovation, preservation,  and how to best use the exciting historical and classic buildings in the Tacoma Washington area. I hope that many of you will attend one or more of the lectures. I hope that we can meet and discuss Tacoma, and classic buildings. Look for me. You'll know what I look like by looking at my photo on my profile. =)

Lectures start at 7pm at the Knights of Pythias Hall 926 1/2 Broadway
$5 a ticket for Historic Tacoma members $8 a ticket for the general public
Co-Sponsored by The Built Green program of the Master Builders Association of Pierce County.

Scott- Great exposure for you! You can go to the series and meet many people there you can network with. You should post this to the Eco group.

Quite a dynamic concept -- historic homes and state-of-the-art green technology. That sounds like an inspiring agenda. Good luck with the tour and hope you get a strong turnout. Or should I say turn ON? Click, click.

Andrew- Thanks for the kind words! last year our turnout was better than we had hoped for. This year our promotional efforts have been well received. Hopefully, turnout will be strong.

Melissa- Thanks for featuring! I hope that we will have a strong turn out from the real estate profession. I think the lectures will be of value to anyone who is selling older homes.
