GTA West September, 2011

·      

·       On Sept 8^th, many GTA West members attended a great “lunch and Learn” day, hosted by Prosource, Mississauga

·         On Sept. 12^th we had our monthly meeting at Wicker Emporium, a new Affiliate, whose tag line is “Wicker…and so much more”- lovely wooden furniture, leather chairs, and accessories too.  We had 17 members attend the function, and were treated to wine and cheese, homemade goodies, and a tour of the store.  Wicker Emporium introduced a new CDECA member loyalty card, and would like us to extend an invitation to the Ottawa chapter, that they would be happy to host a chapter meeting for them.

·          Attached is a photo of our new window “Tools of the Trade” at SOFA.  The Window Committee worked hard to get the window ready for the Ramsin event held on Sept. 14^th.  We approached some Affiliates about donating things for the window, and they came through for us- Maxwell Fabrics, PPG Paints, Crown Wallpaper, Royal Lighting, Prosource.  By scrounging around and finding old ladders etc. this lovely window was put together at no cost to CDECA at all.

Sept. 20^th sees the GTA West hosting a booth at The Decorating Centre’s Design show.  Volunteers have agreed to “man the booth”, everyone taking a half hour turn. 


Here is the latest photo of our "window" at SOFA
