Dear Latrobe Members,

I am writing to you to celebrate the end of 2020 and wish you a very happy holiday. It has been a challenging year no doubt, but we are pleased with our community coming together for national SAH events and the two virtual lectures Latrobe organized in November and December.

In recognition of these challenging times, we are pleased to extend free membership through 2021; if you recently renewed your membership, we are happy to move it to 2022. We hope that you will continue to support our organization and engage with architectural history in Washington, DC.

In the spring of 2021, we will offer a packed schedule of virtual events, beginning with our virtual symposium on race, ethnicity, and architecture in Washington, DC, to be held as a series of Tuesday evening lectures throughout the month of February. Please mark your calendars and register for the series here: https://www.latrobechaptersah.org/symposium-registration Registration cost is $40 per person and free to students. Please help us spread the word about this opportunity!

In addition to the virtual symposium, we will offer virtual lectures in March, April, and May with Carla Yanni and Dell Upton, as well as a roundtable on iconic planned communities with Mary Corbin Sies, Isabelle J. Gournay, Bruce Stephenson, and Jeremy C. Wells. Depending on the state of public health, we are also planning an in-person tour of the Perry Belmont House.

We are excited to see you in the new year and wish you all the best until then!

Cheers,

Vyta Baselice
