Words: Dan KamysCome hear the story of lime ? past, present and future ? at the International Building Lime Symposium, March 9-11, 2005. This symposium will be held at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Don't miss the opportunity to be part of the dynamic and diverse community of international building professionals that will be assembled.

The 2005 International Building Lime Symposium offers a unique program of 40 state-of-the-art technical papers and case studies on mortar, decorative finishes, stucco and plaster. Four demonstration workshops on building lime applications will also be provided. The keynote address on sustainable design based on "traditional" technologies will be presented by Jeanne Marie Teutonico of the Getty Conservation Institute. The Symposium promises to be educational, fun and offer many networking opportunities.
