First Lady to Welcome National Design Award Winners to White House

The winners and finalists of the 2010 National Design Awards will converge on our nation’s capital next Wednesday, July 21. They’ll participate in an education program for local high school students before attending a White House ceremony hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama. We heard from last year’s winners that the festive luncheon was notable not only for the presence (and inspiring remarks) of the First Lady, the honorary patron for the National Design Awards, but also for the whimsical table decorations: colorful toy robots that were swiftly swiped into service as White House souvenirs.
