The ERC Designers’ Showhouse project, now in it’s 28th year, is a well-known annual community event benefiting ERC. This creative partnership between a local homeowner, area designers, the business community, ERC, and the general public will provide the means by which ERC can offer needed services to more than 9,000 clients which we expect to serve in the coming year. The expansion of the agency’s service area this year has provided both the opportunity and challenge of serving more clients than ever before in the agency’s history, making the role of this annual fundraiser even more important. We hope you will make plans to attend the 2008 ERC Designers' Showhouse, open for public tour April 19 - May 18, 2008. Group tour reservations for groups of 8 or more can be made now.
