Charity Function At Coverings 2003 Showcases Tilesetting Talents
Tile industry artisans will demonstrate their creative talents in front of the crowds attending Coverings 2003 and donate the resulting works of art to a major children's charity, "Give Kids The World." Coverings 2003, America's largest trade show for the tile, stone and flooring industry, is scheduled for March 24 to 27 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.
A special area of the trade show's main floor will be set aside where the artisans will work and apply colorful tile murals to a set of concrete benches and planters. On the final day of the trade show, the completed benches and planters will be donated to "Give Kids The World," a non-profit, 51-acre location in nearby Kissimmee, FL, that fulfills the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses by providing whimsical accommodations during memorable, cost-free vacations to the Central Florida attractions.
