Rendezvous at the Races
Thanks to those who attended our Annual Meeting on August 20, 2010 at the Del Mar Racetrack! We had a great afternoon packed with horse racing, food, cocktails, networking and of course lots of fun. We raffled off an iPAD at the end of the races and some of our members stayed for the concert afterward. All around it was a great time and thanks again to those who came out and enjoyed the fun.

Communicating the Truth About Print
Print is often criticized for its loss of value and importance in the market, as well as its impact on the environment. It is essential to convey the message that print is important to brand recognition and the sales process, and that we are an environmentally and socially responsible industry.
The following tools and resources have been developed to help printers convey these messages to the media, your customers, the government, and other industries.
Also, please take a moment to read a special announcement from President & CEO of Printing Industries of America, Michael Makin, regarding this matter. |
