“Busy, busy, busy” is the word I often hear quoted the most when asking chapter members how they are doing. Indeed we are blessed to be part of Houston’s fast growth dedicated to creating spaces that are functional, efficient and safe while enhancing the quality of the working and living environment. We have a diverse membership that works with corporations, hospitals and healthcare facilities, private businesses and individuals in their homes. Members of ASID are positively influencing people’s lives!

As discussed in previous communications, your Board uses our strategic plan to determine whether or not the actions we are taking move us closer to achieving our goals. The Board continues to focus on ways to Embrace Technology, Expand Your Knowledge and Develop Your Practice. We recently used a new technology for the recent voting process. Our Programs and CEU’s committee was busy these past couple of months creating a full year event calendar aimed at expanding knowledge in new areas. Our Annual Meeting was a huge success as we welcomed our ASID CEO Randy Fiser. Watch for announcements in the coming months from our national organization as we kick off ASID 2.0! The Board also voted to join GHBA to help members expand and develop their practices. What does this mean for you?

Allied and Professional members: • Can join at a reduced rate - $164 per person, in lieu of $620 Associate Membership dues, • Can participate in over 200 annual networking events giving designers greater exposure to custom builders, remodelers and hundreds of GHBA members, • Have the opportunity to enter projects in the Houston's Best PRISM Awards, • Can submit a 100-word profile in Houston Builder magazine that goes out via email and mail to over 7,000 industry professionals monthly Our Student committees will be holding a silent auction May 7th at Houston Design Center’s annual Cruise Party. I encourage each of you to donate an item and participate in the auction. Our goal is to raise over $3,000 this year for student scholarships.

Student Representative Victoria (Tori) Crockett 713-725-6245 toricrockett@yahoo.com

We continue to build our leadership culture expanding the roles and responsibilities of committee members. Despite their very busy schedules, our committee members devote time and energy to bring added value to your membership. We could not do all that we do without their support! I continue to encourage everyone, despite our busy schedules, to get involved in the Texas Gulf Coast Chapter of ASID!

In Memorium Wylmoth "Billie" Kelsey BORN: July 6, 1924 DIED: January 26, 2014 LOCATION: Washington, District Of Columbia On Sunday, January 26, 2014, Wylmoth B. Kelsey, known to all who knew and loved her as Billie, passed away at Knollwood Military Retirement Residence in Washington, DC. Formerly of Houston, Texas, born July 6, 1924 in Waukegan, Illinois, she was predeceased by her parents, Louis Curtis Kelsey and Wylmoth Kelsey Thompson and sister Frances Eloise Kelsey. After receiving her Bachelor of Arts from UCLA, where she was a member of the Chi Omega sorority, she became a senior designer at Bullock's Department Store in Los Angeles. In 1949, Billie began serving with the Special Services at Sky Line Service Club at Wetzlar Military Post, Germany where she met and married a U.S. Army Officer. Throughout her life, she was a dedicated volunteer serving as Chairman of Volunteers for the American Red Cross in Frankfurt, Germany, President of the Women of St. Philip's, Chairman the Altar Guild at St. Philip's Church in Laurel and charity work on behalf of the Houston chapter of ASID. In 1973, she returned to the design field with W & J Sloane's in Washington, moved to Houston in 1978 and started her own interior design firm, B. Kelsey Interior Design, in 1979. Billie retired in 2003 returning to the Washington, DC area to make her home at Knollwood. She is survived by son, James C. Heckendorn of Sykesville, daughter Kelsey Heckendorn of Laurel, grandson Kevin James Logan of Ellicott City, and sister Barbara T. Clark of El Paso.

March's event took place at 1919 Wine and Mixology which is a joint venue with Corner Table and The Oak Bar. It was really a treat for Gino Vian of Fun House, designer/artist of the venue, speak to us about all of the great finishes, reclaimed/recycled materials and design concept of the space. If you would like to contact Gino with further questions you can reach him by phone at 832-868-9319 or email at GinoVianDesign@yahoo.com. His website is www.GinoVianDesign.com.

We have some more great restaurants and a couple hotel tours on the agenda. Look out for our soirees on the second Wednesday of the month - unless we have other conflicts! Keep up with the events on Facebook and if you are not getting the emails and want to - please update your information or inquire at the office!

At last, a 21st century technology designed for a more efficient home storage solution and improved home value.

Auto-Lad is a fully electronically controlled ladder.

At the press of a button or of a remote, it’s advanced circuit board allows the electronic unlatching of the panel, its opening, extending and de-energizing of the electric motor when Auto-Lad is fully extended. Depressing the same push button or remote allows retracting of Auto-Lad and when fully retracted, the closure of the panel and it’s automatic re-latching followed by the de-energizing of the electric motor. For high reliability and safety of operation, Auto-Lad has no position sensors but will stop if an obstacle is in it’s way.

While designed for a typical attic space, this structurally superior and sophisticated operating ladder can also be used to substitute stairs in a loft to add privacy and additional room space below.

Call eLAIR ENTERPRISES, LLC today for more information about the Auto-Lad system.
