We have selected the Richstone Family Center which helps prevent and treat child abuse, to strengthen families, and to prevent violence in families, schools and communities. They have a couple homes in the Los Angeles area that we plan to help stage to improve the look, functionality, and comfort for these needy children. We plan to solicit donations of furniture, accessories, funds, and labor in order to plan and implement our staging in the Sept 2009 timeframe. Please contact the chapter President or the World Wide Service Staging Ambassador, Jodi Bader. Details of the Richstone chairty can be found at www.RichstoneFamily.org In September 2008, the West Los Angeles chapter of the International Association of Home Staging Professionals® (IAHSP®) Foundation took part in the 4th annual Worldwide Staging Service Week. With generous donations from Brook Furniture Rental, CORT Furniture Rental, Fashion Furniture, and Chapter members, we Staged the second floor community room and the first floor kitchen in the Residence of the Los Angeles Downtown Women’s Center, a nonprofit organization which provides a safe environment for homeless women through permanent, supportive housing and a healthy community fostering dignity, respect and personal stability. Volunteers completely transformed the two rooms with new furniture, art, rugs, plants and accessories. The response from the residents was incredible. One resident was in tears as she walked into the room, saying “I thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart!” ******* Check the Calendar section for Chapter meeting dates or contact our President or Membership Chair Person for details or Information. |
