TEXAS GULF COAST CHAPTER | WINTER 2011 | 17
Ellouise Abbot AwardI have been asked to give a little background on theEllouise Abbott Award and about Ellouise Abbottherself. The first award was given after her deathalmost thirty years ago. It was decided that thisaward was not to be taken lightly, and would onlybe given, when we have an Industry Partner whohad devoted years of outstanding service to ourchapter. It was to be the highest honor that ourchapter can bestow upon an Industry Partner at thelocal level.
Ellouise Abbott opened a small fabric showroom, ina little run down house on Alabama, over fifty yearsago. She quickly became known as the queen offabrics in the gulf coast area. She had the exclusiverights to sell many of the finest fabric lines in theworld. Her showroomwas truly a “to the tradeonly” showroom. She protected the interiordesigner, by refusing to sell anyone exceptdesigners. To purchase from her showroom, youmust have been approved by Ellouise herself. To dothis, you had to furnish extensive information andcredentials, and endure an interview with Ellouise.It was not easy, but once approved, you had accessto fabrics, that other designers were not allowed topurchase. She called it snob appeal and it worked.
In 1989 a fountain was built in her honor at the Decorative Center ofHouston. Ellouise was quick to point out that only by protecting thedesigner, could you expect the designer to prosper and return to purchasefrom you in the future. She set the standard, that many of us live by today.
Over the years, theaward has beengiven to severalindividuals. Thisyear, Ray Levy hasreceived the award.He has served onalmost everycommittee that wehave. He has beenour IndustryMember to theboard and has alsobeen our IndustryDirector at Large.Ray has workedtirelessly to helpour chapter and hasbeen responsible forthe rapid growth ofour IndustryPartnerOrganization.The first Ellouise Abbot Award was presented by
Steve Taylor in 1985. Steve took over the EllouiseAbbott Showroom, after her death.
Ray Levy was presented with the Ellouise Abbot Award this year.

The first Friday every other month ASID has a Lunch & Learn. Five
Industry Partners will update you on their services and what’s new in their
industry. It’s open to all ASID members but we would like to see as many
designers as possible. Industry Partners support us so we would like to
continue to support our Industry Partners. So come and see what’s new or
just reacquaint yourself with our Industry Partners.
This is your opportunity as an Industry Partner to get in front of your
customers and it won't cost you a penny. It's our way at ASID of saying
thank you for being an Industry Partner and saying to you, "Show us what
you've got".
The Presenters are chosen on a first come basis. If you have an interest let
us know. Lunch for everyone is on us. For more details or to place your
name on the waiting list call: Linda 713-626-1470 or Ray 281-579-0200.
Turn To The ProsWhen I have a stopped up sink, I call the plumber for help. When the
lights start flickering, I call in the electrician. When we want to design or
redecorate a home, we call a designer. When you want a job done right you
call in the pros. Who does the designer call when she is working out her
design issues? Interior Designers are well informed but they can't know
everything about all the different trades, products, and services that are
now available to them. Nor should they be. No one expects that much
information from one person.
Industry Partners members are Pros too. We joined ASID to partner with
professionals! Professionals like YOU! We want you to turn to us when you
are faced with questions about product, safety, and installation. Your IP
members are brimming over with tons of information on their specialty
plus years of experience to back it up! We would love to share our knowl-
edge with you and your clients! Please don't be shy. We invite all your
questions, simple or complex, from designers and students alike. Please
call on your IP members when choosing trades and vendors. IP members
take pride in helping the designer and their clients make informed choices
and supplying the best in products and services. Surround yourself with
Professionals! We will be there long after the others have gone.
