Editor... In this issue: Around the Industry: NAHB and 50+ Member NewsNew Locations for NAHB Shows Scheduled in New Orleans Two NAHB conferences — the 2005 Custom Builder Symposium and SHOWCASE — have been relocated from the storm-ravaged New Orleans area. The Custom Builder Symposium now will take place at the same time in Atlanta, but with even more anticipated offerings, as previously planned on November 11-13. It's taken nothing less than a Herculean effort to reschedule and relocate everything on time, but it's going to happen! A yeoman's effort was needed to relocate the 2005 Building Systems Councils' SHOWCASE, but that, too, was accomplished in record time. SHOWCASE will now be held in Louisville, KY, on November 6-9, as originally planned. American House Opens Doors to Katrina Refugees American House of Bloomfield Hills, MI, a member of the NAHB 50+ Housing Council, is going to accept more than 50 seniors refugees who have been displaced by Hurricane Katrina. They have also started collecting donations from staff and current residents to provide the new residents with necessary personal affects. This will help elderly and disabled victims of the hurricane find the care and shelter they need. 'World’s Best' to Feature Ambrosia Interior Design Inc.
