DAYS!
If you’re a rising Senior at Roxbury Central School, you have an opportunity to get wildand crazy this summer!
The Re-Store Design Challenge is coming to YOUR town this summer and you're invited to be a part of an award-
winning creative design team. Build your portfolio for college! Hang out with incredibly cool and smart designers,
architects and artists and build “links” to incredible opportunities in the future . . . And even earn a scholarship or grant!
This design challenge is only available to THREE students from the RCS Class of 2011 who are very serious about
design, art or architecture. Here's how it works: Three design teams, led by Andrew Williams, Sean Scherer and Donald
Hill (we've included their bios so you can check them out), will have a few weeks to come up with a fantastic “Re-Store”;
a creative retail venture in an empty Roxbury storefront… and only TWO DAYS to install the entire project! (It’s like
Chopped, Top Chef, Project Runway or those HGTV reality shows with radical makeovers, only this one will transform an
empty store.) The store doesn’t have to have real goods, but whatever we’re selling has to be represented in some creative
way — donations or “recreations.”
To help them, the Design Team leaders will choose a fellow artist, designer or architect, a contractor or builder … and a
talented, artistic, committed RCS student to join their team. That’s where you come in — and here's what's expected:
You will participate in the concept and project development and have your ideas heard. You live here full-time, so you
might be expected to get on the phone, talk to team members on conference calls, shop hardware stores — whatever. In
other words, be able to think on your feet and take initiative. Then you will help build and install your team’s dream store
in just TWO days (August 19-20).
Then, every weekend from August 21 to September 18, you will represent your team by staffing the store and explaining
the concept your team has brought to life — actively trying to help your team WIN. If you aren’t already, you will learn to
be comfortable talking to people from all walks of life, from your long-time neighbors to celebrity design judges. On Sept.
18, there will be a big party to announce which team won the design challenge!
What you get: enormously valuable connections with designers who will understand and foster your artistic ambitionsand abilities, but who will also expect you to commit and deliver — time, energy and the top of your creative bent.
You’ll experience real-world design challenges and earn an impressive credential to add to your portfolio, college applica-
tion or resume. You’ll learn whether a design career is a good fit for you. All three students will receive a modest
stipend, and, at the awards ceremony September 18, if your team is the winner, you’ll be awarded a scholarship or grant
from The MARK Project in recognition of your contribution to the future of our region and your hometown.
What we require: read the bios and project info, then tell us WHY you are the student for the Re-Store Design Challenge.
If there is a particular team leader whose work or bio speaks to you, explain why (no guarantees that he would be your
team leader if you are chosen, but speak your mind). Tell us about yourself and what unique qualities you bring to the
team and how you see this experience informing your future and helping you reach your own goals.
Your application must consist of a 250-500 word statement (typed, double-spaced in TImes or another standard font), and
a cover sheet with your name, address, phone number and e-mail address. Submit your application via e-mail to
[email protected] or mail it to ReStore Design Challenge at the address below. We do not require any portfolios at
this time. We want to make sure you’re not shy about your artistic abilities and that you can put that into words. If you
need more information check out our Re-Store page on Facebook or contact Karina at the Roxbury Parks Department
(607 326-3722).
Three amazing design teams… two days to install … one Catskills village (yours!)Ready, set, design: your deadline is July 5!

formal training in architecture at Parsons School of Design in
New York, Italy and France. In tandem with architecture,
Donald studied French and Italian decorative arts. He has
guest lectured at Altos de Chevon School of Design in the

Steve Martin, Mrs. Charles Bludorn, actress and producer Victoria Tennant, Time Warner Chairman
and CEO Jeff Bewkes, Tishman Construction CEO Dan TIshman and screenwriter/playwright
Marshall Brickman.
Donald draws on a broad understanding of architectural and decorative arts styles and applies
them in ways that reflect the individuality and functional needs of his clients. He believes that in
good design, function comes first. His projects demonstrate an ability to integrate period elements
with today’s conveniences and often feature furniture of his own design. The finished project is aharmonized blend of elements that
look as if they have always belonged
together. His projects upstate include
faithful restoration of an Arts & Crafts
house located in the historic Byrdcliffe
community in Woodstock.
While upstate, Donald has contributed
his talents and energy to several multi-
cultural arts organizations andfundraising efforts, and serves as a
volunteer designer each year for the
Roxbury Arts Group’s Over the Top
Tabletops gala fundraiser. A collector
of early American furniture and deco-
rative arts and of Americana, Hill

extensive collection of pre-1912
American flags to raise funds for
Delaware County charities.
