Welcome

2022 has come and gone, and so it is time once more to share our projects and involvements from the year. As the first full year since 2020 without any lasting concerns from the pandemic, 2022 was the busiest year for the Design Center in a few years, and in-person meetings and events were back in full swing. You will find highlights about those projects and events in the following pages, as well as some other information relating to the ETCDC, such as our 2022 project volunteers, Board of Directors, and more. Projects shown in this book were worked on during the calendar year; some were completed, and others were still in the design process as we transitioned into 2023. We hope you enjoy what follows.

Project Selection Criteria

The ETCDC and its volunteers work on a number of projects throughout the year.

Design Center projects and clients must meet 4 qualifications:

Be from a nonprofit or community organization

Be for the benefit of the entire community and not solely for the benefit of their members

Be unable to acquire financial or other resources from the private sector

Be able to demonstrate the commitment and ability to pursue the project through to completion
