HomeArama
2005 will showcase seven magnificent designer furnished models in
Ashton Oaks, a luxurious gated custom home enclave on the Nicklaus
Design golf course. Within
intimate walkways and stone monuments, master builders, artisans,
interior designers, craftsmen, and landscape architects will create
a unique experience. Charlotte's HomeArama is renowned as "The Most
Elegant Home Exposition in America."
HomeArama is
seeking volunteer hosts. Daily shift times for volunteers are 9:30
a.m. to 1:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
over the duration of the show. Rhein Interests, host of HomeArama
2005, will give all shift volunteers two VIP tickets to HomeArama to
use at their leisure. The tickets for the volunteers were graciously
donated by The Home Builders Association of Charlotte. Rhein will
also accept proposals from local non profit organizations. “This is
a great way to participate in one of the region’s most exciting
annual events, plus see the show for free,” said Jenni Willis,
marketing director for The Palisades. Willis added that volunteers
will be responsible for greeting HomeArama guests at the show homes,
managing the flow of traffic within the homes and answering
questions about each home’s features. The builders and interior
designers will provide the volunteers with details for each home.
For additional information, or to volunteer, contact Jenni Willis at
(704) 527-2333 Ext. 115.
The Palisades is a
serene 1,500-acre master planned community within a high woodland
peninsula above Lake Wylie, located off NC Highway 49 near the
Buster Boyd Bridge --
destined to be Charlotte's premier amenity oriented development.
Sensitive land planning considerations protect the watershed
environment, preserving much of the site's natural features. The
plan includes a Nicklaus Design championship golf course, private
country club, town center for shopping and services, equestrian
center, soccer-training complex, and miles of trails and paths - a
combination unique to the region.
