Your Craftsmen Network at Work
Tom Newland, a member who owns a service printing firm in Blaine, Minnesota called HQ and asked for guidance on what level of sales production he could expect from his prepress department. HQ did some research and faxed Tom specific revenue targets within the hour.
John Spooner of M & T Bank and the Buffalo Club called Kevin Keane at IAPHC HQ and asked who he could talk to about a technical problem involving thermography. Kevin gave John the number of Mike Emanuelli, former North Jersey Club member now employed in a training capacity at Business Cards Tomorrow in Boca Raton, Florida. John later told Kevin that Mike was extremely helpful and that it is just "Super!" that John can call and find out who has expertise without having to invest a lot of his own time in tracking down someone.
Mike Kemple of Business Cards Plus and the Kalamazoo Valley Club wanted to refer a young lady who had been a member of his Club (and who had just finished her graphic arts education and who had just accepted a job with a Detroit area printer) to contacts within the Detroit Club. HQ provided the names and numbers of John Hages, Mike Stinnett and Gene Tata. Kevin also told Mike that the well known business card and wedding invitation printer Carlson Craft had just entered 19 pieces in the 1997 International Gallery of Superb Printing and that Susie Shipman of the Kansas City Club and owner of 24 Hour Business Cards had entered the International Gallery for the first time with two gorgeous cards. Mike said his firm would have to enter also!
If you have a problem finding a solution or have an example of how the Craftsmen Network has recently benefited you, we'd like to hear about it. Just send an e-mail to International Headquarters.

The 2nd District CraftNet site (constructed by David Albrecht of the Mid-Hudson Club), the 4th District CraftNet site (constructed by Paul Foster of the Baltimore Club), and the 7th District CraftNet site
(constructed by 7th District Governor John M. Leininger) are all now proudly showing their web prowess.
Please visit these new sites and drop them a line to let them know what a fine job they have done.
In addition to the district sites, David and Paul have created sites for their own clubs: Mid-Hudson Club and the Baltimore Club respectively.
Late Breaking Update News:
Just in--the 11th District now has all its clubs online using the new Int'l CraftNet Browser Update pages. These pages will be available to all IAPHC clubs very soon. The 11th District has graciously offered to be a test site while we work out any bugs. You can view the following 11th District clubs using the Browser Update pages: the Diablo Club, the East Bay Club, the Fresno Club, the Silicon Valley Club, the Redwood Empire Club, the Sacramento Club, the San Francisco Club, and the Sierra-Nevada Club. Also visit the previously posted Yosemite Area Club (which does not use the Browser Update pages).
