Happy New Year - it's fabulous to have so many new members!  (see the box, right) 
 

On the heels of the news that this past holiday season had the most robust sales since 2006, here's wishing all of you a very prosperous New Year!


2011 is off and running - our board has been meeting monthly, even when there has been no general meeting -  and we have lots of exciting plans and projects! 

We will have a booth at the
Bellevue Homes and Lifestyles Show and a new kiosk to showcase our members' wonderful work.   Please visit the NWSID website for more information.  

The January Chapter meeting held at PRA member, Masins furniture's beautiful Bellevue location, promises to be interesting and informative.  Join us!

And, as always, if you have news to share, please call or email the office and Darline will see that it's forwarded to the appropriate person:  206-763-8799 or nwsid@nwsid.net

Warmest regards,

Bellevue Homes and Lifestyles Show: 

The Puget Sound Chapter of the Northwest Society of Interior Designers will make its 15th appearance at the Bellevue Home & Lifestyles Show Jan. 21-23, 2011 at the Meydenbauer Center in downtown Bellevue.  NWSID's interior designers and their product resource affiliates will be on hand to share information about NWSID, as well as to assist attendees with their design dilemmas.

2011 Focus on Design Conference: Oct. 6-7, 2011

We will be partnering with the local NKBA Chapter as well as Seattle Design Center.  NKBA will have a co-chair for the conference with NWSID chair Karen Lunn-Fisher, and have as many people on the committee as NWSID. There will be at least ten Sub-Committees, and it's very important to ensure the event's success that every NWSID member volunteer their time, whether it's prior to or during the conference.  Contact Karen today: Karen Lunn-Fisher (lunnfisherdesign@comcast.net) or 425-361-3980 to volunteer.


Marketing:

Look for NWSID's advertisement in Seattle magazine's January publication of Northwest Home!
