THE JUNIOR LEAGUE OF AKRON ANNOUNCES PARTICIPATING DESIGNERS FOR DESIGNER SHOWHOUSE 2009.
The Junior League of Akron is excited to announce the participating Interior Designers for Designer ShowHouse 2009. “To participate in this event,” explains Vanessa Riedlinger, Designer Committee Chair, “each designer had to submit up to three different design proposals. The proposals for each room were then reviewed, and the designer submitting the best proposal for a room was selected.” The Designer ShowHouse 2009 location on North Portage Path contains over 26 rooms, making this selection process a difficult task. “We are very excited with the high level of talent and creativity shown in all the proposals,” said Kristi Fox, Designer ShowHouse 2009 Co-Chair, “this will definitely be a must-see home when it is completed.”
All rooms within the M.A. Knight manor, located at 711 North Portage Path, as well as the grounds have been paired with local Northeast Ohio Designers.

All proceeds from Designer ShowHouse 2009 will benefit the Junior League of Akron and support the League’s programs in “Strengthening Families for a Better Tomorrow.” The current program, the Adopt-a-High-Rise Project in partnership with Mobile Meals, provides for hot meal delivery, socialization and programming opportunities at a local AMHA housing tower. The League’s trained volunteers bring much-needed food and friendship to these largely frail, homebound, low-income seniors, providing vital services not otherwise available to this vulnerable population. The financial success of ShowHouse 2009 will enable the Junior League of Akron to meet its goal of expanding this important program to other AMHA locations by training partner organizations
Designer Showhouse 2009 will run from May 9-24, 2009 with a grand opening Preview Gala on May 1.
