February Membership SPARK Series

Please join the IIDA NE Membership Committee on Friday, February 19, from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m., for Sketch ReFresh 2.0! Back by popular demand as part of our new SPARK series (formally Coffee Chat), Paul Lewandowski, former IIDA NE President and Principal at Paul Designs Project, is inspiring us & sharing his sketching techniques. This is an extension of the session Paul led this past fall and was tremendously popular! Details on Paul's suggested supplies are below.

This event will be free to Members. In lieu of a participation fee, non-members are asked to make a donation which will be paid directly to Paul's fund, immediately following the event. Please see the link below to help Paul’s support for the research to help put an end to prostate cancer.

ZERO Prostate Cancer Summit 2021: Paul Lewandowski | ZERO - The End of Prostate Cancer
Every 16 minutes another American man dies from prostate cancer. That’s a little more than 91 deaths per day and 33,330 this year. That’s enough to fill an entire baseball stadium. One in nine American men will have prostate cancer during his lifetime. Prostate cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among American men and is the most commonly diagnosed. The American Cancer Society estimates in its Cancer Facts & Figures 2020 report that 191,930 men will be told they have prostate cancer in 2020. Currently there are nearly 3.1 million American men living with the disease – roughly equal to the population of Chicago.

Here are the suggested supplies that Paul recommends all attendees have for this event:
