June 21st a small group of designers met for an even-
ing CEU hosted in tandem by Columbia Forest Products
and Dal-Tile. The topic was “Decorative Hardwood Ply-
wood and Interior Air Quality”. Richard Poindexter
with Columbia Forest Products educated the group on
understanding composite core adhesive options and
formaldehyde emission issues. Multiple samples of the
differing applications were passed around the group to
touch and feel. Dal-Tile generously provided refresh-
ments and their showroom as
a meeting place. An HSW
credit and tasty meal capped
off the evening.
JULY CEU
The Metropolitan Multi-Service Center was the setting for Houston City Center’s annual Barrier Free CEU Event. Participants were led through this strategically designed environment allowing them to explore numer-ous universal and accessible spaces, including an adap-tive fitness room, full court gym, wheelchair-accessible indoor pool, and the Playground Without Limits. To top it off, participants were able to spectate a Wheelchair Rugby Match! The guided tour was followed by an inter-active discussion and Q&A session with none other than Lex Frieden, Director of the ILRU Program at TIRR Me-morial Hermann and instrumental player in the develop-ment of ADA.

Tracy McCarthy, a grad-uate student of Industrial Design at Philadelphia University, was instru-mental in making this year’s event a
