Fifteen years after the
eight-story, $75 million Shriners http://www.bizjournals.com/ Hospital for Children
Northern California opened in Sacramento, the lobby got a facelift.
A fundraising campaign
generated more than $200,000 to renovate the area, and celebrated the changes
in a community party Saturday.
Play stations shaped like
airplanes invite kids to color and play while they wait for the doctor. New
armchairs and couches provide comfortable seating for parents as they watch and
wait. A new carpet highlights the architecture and color scheme of the
building.
Fundraising efforts were
lead by Everett Thorne,
chair emeritus of the hospital board of governors. Shrine clubs throughout
Northern California made donations, the largest coming from the Pomo Shrine
Club in Ukiah. Second was the Ben Ali Shriners Club in Sacramento.
