April was a busy month for events at the Iris Shopping Center, the first major event in April took place on Saturday April 11, 2009 beginning with contests/giveaways all day from Vodafone and ending with a concert by one of Romania’s most famous female singers, Delia. Delia performed for a crowd of 500 shoppers inside the Iris Shopping Center Gallery and after the show stayed to sign autographs for all of her fans. The concert signified the beginning of the Easter Raffle campaign (“Tombola de Paşte”) with the grand prize being a Dacia Sandero.

The following Saturday, April 18, 2009, was the end of the week long coupon campaign in which shoppers became eligible for the raffle by making a purchase of more than 10 Ron and filling out a coupon with all of their details. The coupon was then entered into the raffle box and the winners were chosen on Saturday afternoon. The prizes included cocktails at Queen Café, jewelry from Bijuteria Luciano, sets of bathroom mats from Pro Confort Mochetex, manicure/pedicure packages and hairdressing for men and women from Salon de Paris Prestige and the grand prize of a Dacia Sandero. After over four thousand entries, the grand prize winner was Emilia Georgiana Trasca, 23, from Pitesti, who is currently a medical student in Bucharest. We would like to congratulate Emilia and thank all participants that came and shopped with us at the Iris Shopping Center gallery. The Dacia giveaway will start again in June and we will give away one Dacia per month for the remainder of the year, so please come out and see us for your chance to win a new Iris Shopping Center Dacia.

Iris Shopping Center proposes as an expansion of its commercial activity a cultural intercession: the opening of a location aimed to promote visual arts, the creation of a small art center where the artists from Pitesti city can participate actively, by organizing art classes for the children and teenagers keen on art.

The Iris Art Center workshop will take place every Saturday, on May 9, 16, 23 from 13:00 to 17:00 and will be followed by the Iris Art Center Exhibition on Sunday, May 31, 2009. All children’s paintings will be displayed in the Iris Shopping Center Gallery and in the afternoon, winners will be chosen for the best painting and many other prizes will be offerred to the children who attended the courses. As of the early success of this event, we intend to continue it every Saturday during the entire summer.
