World Wide Staging Service Week September 14, 2009 What a meaningful day for the ASP Stagers of Central Ohio as we completed our IAHSP Worldwide Staging Service Day. On September 14, 2009, we spent the day at the local Ronald McDonald House staging and decorating eight guest suites, which accommodate families and their critically ill children who are being treated at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and other local hospitals. We accomplished our goal of creating homelike, cozy environments, to assist in making their stay as comfortable as possible. Through generous donations of artists from the Licking County Arts and also Barbara Robertson, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker King Thompson, we selected and hung artwork in each suite after rearranging furniture to create efficient floorplans. CIRC members Terri Durner, ASP, and Connie Meizlish, ASP, cut and sewed material for pillows from fabric donated by Jody Penrod, Affiliate CIRC member of Interior Surfaces. Beth Malchus, Terry Cowans, Professional Organizer of Reddin’ Up, Ltd., and Shauna Pendaries Cooperider finished the pillows. We wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the individuals and organizations for their generous monetary, time, and goods donations. Without them, this project would not have been possible.
