Architecture for the Birds and King Street Center

TruexCullins Architecture and Interior Design hosted our annual holiday party. This year's soiree was a unique fundraiser for King Street Center. We raised over $4,200 by auctioning off bird houses created by the staff. 

The avian homes will be on exhibit in our office at 209 Battery Street in Burlington until December 18, 2012. You may visit our office Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm or just enjoy the show in this online gallery.

Architecture for the Birds

The festive season is upon us and we are looking forward to the annual TruexCullins holiday party.   Mark your calendar for Wednesday December 5th for a friendly celebration with food, drink ... and birdhouses.  (VIEW THE BIRD HOUSE EXHIBIT)

This year we will be showcasing a collection of unique birdhouses designed and built by TruexCullins staff and friends.  The creative works of avian architecture will be up for silent auction during the reception, with all proceeds going to benefit the King Street Center.  Guests may also vote for their favorite birdhouse as part of the People’s Choice competition.

The TruexCullins holiday party is open to all clients and friends of the firm (and readers of the blog).  We hope to see you on Battery Street next Wednesday.  And if you would like to build a birdhouse for the auction, there’s still time.  Submissions may be dropped off at our office for Carmen George by Monday December 1st.
