Chamber Mixer

The office has completed a massive transformation, and last night we showed it off at the first of many events.

Graphcom, Graphcom Creative and Signs by Graphcom held a company wide Chamber Mixer and we had quite a crowd.

Thanks goes out to all of the employees who put in long hours painting, pruning and perfecting the space, as well as the Chamber members who donated food: Biggerstaff's Catering (fantastic!), wine: Adams County Winery, beer: Appalachian Brewing Company, transportation: Diana's Limousine Service and of course the Gettysburg/Adams Chamber of Commerce.

Attendees were given tours at the main plant and learned all about our presses, bindery, mail house creative services and wide format, and a few even took a ride down the 3-story fire pole in creative. You know who you are, Mr. 6 times man!

Go Red For Women Luncheon

I had the pleasure of attending this year's Go Red For Women Luncheon at the Hanover Country Club and have attached some photos of the event.

Lori Burkholder, co-anchor of WGAL was the mistress of ceremonies for the afternoon. Everyone was touched by guest speaker Christal Pike-Nase. Christal experienced an ischemic stroke on November 11, 2007 and after intensive therapy, determination and the support of her family, returned to work full-time in September 2008 as one of the Deputy Chief Counsels of the Department of the Auditor General.

The event was fabulous and I am already looking forward to next year.

Snow Day in Gettysburg

The snow has finally stopped falling and the cleanup begins. Here are a few photos of our Chambersburg Road offices. Keep in mind that our building is 3 floors high! Come on spring...

I will upload a few images later of our downtown offices.
