ASID chapters raise funds for Illinois non-profit group
Jay McIntosh -- Furniture Today, March 25, 2007
Chicago — The Illinois chapters of the American Society of Interior Designers and International Interior Design Assn. raised more than $7,000 for a local non-profit group that supports the interior design industry.
Proceeds from the jointly held fourth annual Holiday Rendezvous in early December will benefit the Illinois Interior Design Coalition, a legislative political action committee that works to protect the right to practice interior design in the state of Illinois.
The event, held at Carnivale Restaurant and Lounge in Chicago's West Loop, featured salsa dance lessons and a silent auction.
Sponsors included Coverings: Ultimate Stone & Tile Experience; OEC Business Interiors/Steelcase; Shaw Inc.; Knoll Chicago; Bradford; Mohawk Inds.; Corporate Concepts; Peebles & Associates; ProSource; Jayson Home & Garden; Barron Custom Furniture; Stone Design; Constantine Commercial; Desks Inc.; Henricksen; Ultron/Solutia; Mannington Commercial; Ruder Group; and the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters.
Bus trip sponsors Resource One, DIRTT, Fixtures Furniture, Global and Versteel provided a chartered bus to and from the party to transport downstate Illinois designers in Springfield and Bloomington who might not have been able to attend otherwise.
