Shining On
D&WC and the window coverings industry gather to celebrate two-and-half decades of success.


In celebration of its 25th year in publication, Draperies & Window Coverings held a Silver Anniversary reception March 31, in Tampa, FL.

In addition to celebrating D&WC’s milestone anniversary, the reception was held as a show of appreciation to the many companies and individuals that have supported the magazine and the industry from the earliest days—companies such as Rowley Co., Morantz Ultrasonics, Comfortex Window Fashions, Elero and Mastervisions. Along with these old friends, many new friends and industry leading manufacturers and suppliers were invited guest, including Norman International, Vertilux and Superior Roman Shades.

From mid-1981 and into the 21st century, the window coverings industry has grown, evolved and yet in many ways held fast to its essential concepts: knowledge, value and innovative products create and sustain success over the long run. Honoring these concepts was at the heart of the celebration.

The D&WC Silver Anniversary reception was held in the Luna di Mare room of the Wyndham Harbor Island hotel. For night owls, the festivities extended on into the night in a waterfront cabana at the hotel’s Jackson restaurant, which turns into one of Tampa’s hottest weekend dance clubs. Salute!
