I wanted to thank you for great gifts you gave to our club for our annual event, Uwharrie Safari 2008.  They were quite a big hit with the crowd.  We were able to raise over $500 from the raffle which we are giving to the National MS Society.  Without your participation, that would not have been possible.  We have placed a link to your site prominently on our website from our home page in hopes to increase your web site traffic.  We hope for your continued support next year. 

Thanks once again.

BTW, the washcloths you gave us were a great way to expose your products.  Most folks were absolutely amazed at how soft they were.  I hope you get some traffic from our event.

I placed my order by phone, and the lady was so nice. The shirts are fantastic and perform as advertised. As the temperature changed here in St. Augustine yesterday from 60 to 88 degrees, I was comfortable regardless of the change. Ordinarily I would have had to throw on something sleeveless by afternoon. I will be ordering more! Thanks again!

That amorphous term “sustainable agriculture” received a down-home practical spin from the president of Sun-Maid Growers when he spoke to the group’s annual meeting in Fresno in December.

Method — the folks with the environmentally friendly line of cleaning materials (my housekeeper used their products before the economy took his job) have done away with those awful plastic blister packs that are murderous to get into, and non-recyclable.

This series looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 410,000 paper cups used every fifteen minutes. This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. The underlying desire is to emphasize the role of the individual in a society that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, and overwhelming.

Check out this site — it is truly awe inspiring even on the web. To see it up close and huge would be amazing.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU soooo much for your fantastic towels!!! Shortly after REM’s arrival I got a request for nicer towels for the band.  The towel company I used sent me the wrong towels . . . One of my girls had been out shopping the day before and remembered seeing your towels and how nice they were. . .  So I sent her out to your booth.  (yay! instant solution!)It was so awesome to have an instant solution on site, and to not have to send a runner out (a 5 hour mission), and it reflected well on us as a hospitality department and the festival as a whole how fast we were able to come with with a solution for them.

To top it off they were so impressed with the towels!! Normally bands leave the towels behind after the show, not this time!  They were really excited your towels.  I heard a comment from more than one person in the headliner compound that they were going to have to get some of those towels for their house :o)

I wanted to let you know that you played a role in helping make REM’s Langerado experience a great one!

Thanks!
