BY DEMAND, CHILDREN AND PETS CAN STILL LEAVE THEIR PRINTS AT THE ORCHARD TOWN CENTER
Third Prints of Pride Tile imprinting event scheduled by appointment for June 14, 2008
Westminster, Colo. – April 23, 2008 – The overwhelming success of the campaign for children and pets of Westminster and surrounding communities to leave a lasting impression at The Orchard Town Center during Grand Opening Weekend in April, while supporting non-profit organizations, has caused the center to extend the campaign through June 14.
The Prints of Pride campaign, benefiting The Westminster Legacy Foundation and Rotary Club of Westminster, 710, is a fundraiser where children and pets imprint clay tiles with their hand and paw prints. Thirty years from now, the children of today will still see their lasting mark in the colorful 6x6-inch tiles which will be signed, glazed and installed at The Orchard Town Center.
The tax-deductible donation for each tile is $60 and attendees must register online at www.theorchardtowncenter.com. A limited number of tiles are available, so participants are urged to register as soon as possible. The registration deadline is June 13, 2008 and tile imprinting will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2008, from 10 AM – 5 PM by appointment only.
Here’s how the program works:
- Registration for tile imprinting will take place on The Orchard Town Center Web site, www.theorchardtowncenter.com, where parents and dog owners will select time slots that suit their schedules. Tile imprinting will take place Saturday, June 14.
- Those who register on the Web site will bring their children and dogs to The Orchard Town Center on Saturday, June 14, at designated times. Time slots will be confirmed via email. Ceramic tile professionals and volunteers will help the children and dogs make their mark
- The colorful tiles, to coordinate with the color scheme of the Center, will be glazed, fired and installed at the Center, where they will live on for posterity. An installation date will be announced after the tiles are complete.
“Community support for this program has been astounding, ” said Nancy Rezac, general manager, The Orchard Town Center. “Hundreds of children and dogs have already imprinted clay tiles that will be creatively displayed in our Town Center area. Overwhelming requests for another tile imprinting day have come pouring in since.”
The Orchard Town Center, located at the northwest corner of I-25 and 144th Avenue, is a unique, pedestrian-friendly lifestyle village offering residents and visitors exceptional options in shopping, dining and entertainment in an environment that invites lingering, relaxing and socializing. Designed in classic prairie craftsmanship, The Orchard Town Center will provide between 80-100 retail establishments that will blend with the surrounding neighborhoods, with convenient access to services for existing and future residents. The project, developed by Forest City Commercial Group and the City of Westminster, held its Grand Opening on Thursday, April 3, 2008. Additional stores will be rolled out throughout the year.
