SPRINGFIELD DESIGN ASSOCIATION DONATES EXPERTISE FOR CHILDREN’S COTTAGES INTERIOR MAKEOVERS AT BOYS & GIRLS TOWN

SPRINGFIELD, MO (April 15, 2010) – Four children's cottages on the Springfield campus of Boys & Girls Town are getting  interior makeovers, courtesy of the talented Springfield Design Association. Each cottage is home to 12 kids. The goal of this project is to provide a warm, comfortable home environment for kids living at Boys & Girls Town. The cottages will receive fresh wall painting, new carpet, tile, countertops, artwork, draperies and murals. The entire renovation project is being completed through donated materials and time.

As with extensive renovation projects, the Springfield Design Association will utilize professional contractors for a portion of the work, and held a successful Mystery Dinner & Art Auction fundraiser at Mille’s Café on April 1.

The project is scheduled for completion this summer.

Thank you to the Springfield Design Association for helping local children in need.
