 By Kevin Keane, IAPHC CEO Lonn Lorenz an Accomplished Acrobat San Francisco Club member Lonn Lorenz will be presenting at Seybold New York, on 20 March 1998, 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM. He's moderating a session called Extending PDF. Lonn is expert in the area of Adobe's Acrobat PDF and given what we had to say earlier in this issue about the fundamental shift in print job processing, Craftsmen members who may be planning to attend Seybold would do well to look him up. When IAPHC Chairman Larry Nelson heard Lonn speak on PDF at the San Francisco Club he took the time to call us and rave about the quality of Lonn's ability to Share his Knowledge. And how did we learn about Lonn's presentation? We read about it in the always fabulous San Francisco Club bulletin, The Pi-Box edited by Jean Dreyfus. A Little Help? Joe Benoit of the Capital District Club and Moore Corporation in Albany, New York asked us to mention that his firm is looking for a night production supervisor with web offset experience and preferably heatset experience. He is also looking for heatset pressman for the 2nd and 3rd shifts, as well as finding a night supervisor and customer service reps at the Moore Corporation Minneapolis plant. One MO Club -- Springfield Mo Club Our thanks to past IAPHC Chairman Chris Kerlick for bringing us up to speed on the status of the Springfield, Missouri Club which has been nurtured into existence by the redoubtable Russ Renshaw, once a member of the Antelope Valley Club in California. There was a trade show in Springfield last week, and Russ and Chris secured the necessary expressions of interest to allow us to tell you that the Springfield Club is the newest Club in the 8th District of the IAPHC. Kudos to Russ and Chris and Eighth District Governor Cindy Johnson for their superb efforts to make this Club a reality. International Gallery Items of Note - Last week, Finch, Pruyn Papers joined an outstanding group of companies who have agreed to become Corporate Sponsors of the 24th Annual International Gallery of Superb Printing. Other sponsor firms include: PrimeSource Corporation, Pitman Company, Spexel Ltd., Brandtjen & Kluge and Polychrome with more firms being approached including Braden Sutphin Ink, Superior Ink, Agfa, Spectratek, Landoll's, Heidelberg, Xeikon, Gans Ink, Potlatch and others. If you work for a firm that should be contacted about this wonderful event, which remains the most economical event to enter and the most economical to sponsor too, just tell us who to visit with and we'll do the rest. - The Call for Entries for the 24th International Gallery has been widely distributed by our many marketing partners as well as by individual Craftsmen members who are the Gallery Go Getters in their home Clubs and Districts. Individual copies of the 1998 Call are even now wending their way through our countries lovely postal systems to your homes and places of business. If you would like more copies so as to become the Gallery Go Getter in your Club or area, just let us know how many and we'll do the rest. - All trade journals in the US and Canada have received a specially prepared news release and a copy of the 1998 Call for Entries. The news release highlighted our status as the most economical event, our sponsoring vendors, our marketing partners and quoted a 1997 International Gallery Gold Award winner. - We sent an e-mail to the head of Heidelberg's public relations efforts and asked how we could solicit additional entries printed on the Heidelberg QuickMaster DI. He gave us contact names at Cobher Press in Rochester NY and Scholin Bros outside St. Louis (both firms already enter the International Gallery) and also suggested Polly Cutter at Watt Peterson here in Minneapolis and Phillip Huepenbecker of Sir Speedy in Lancaster PA. The latter two are great prospects. - In addition to the 10 International Gallery of Superb Printing entries mentioned above which we received from first time entrant AGT (don't forget that AGT was number 51 in the Bloomberg 100, the hot stocks of 1997, as reported in the 17 February 1998 issue of Tuesday Morning News) we received -- - Eleven entries from PrismaGraphics in Milwaukee, home to IAPHC Secretary Treasurer Tony Sarubbi and outgoing IAPHC membership chair Sue Schmidt. Our thanks to PrismaGraphics a well known purveyor of powerful promotional packaging concepts. - And we have 48 entries for the Portland Club with more on the way. - Some of the rough estimate commitments from other Clubs in terms of their International Gallery entry counts, remember these are estimates: Buffalo: approx 80 Calgary: about 90 Central Minnesota: about 18 Conestogo: approx 20 Detroit: about 20 Eleventh District: approx 250 Hamilton: at least 4 London: should be 4 or more Montreal: 582 Ottawa: at least 4 Portland: around 60 Rochester: about 100 Toronto: at least 150 Wichita/Mid Kansas about 80 If any other Clubs would care to offer estimates, it really helps with planning for judging. Speaking of Judges Fran Pagel of Central Wisconsin, Sue Schmidt of Milwaukee-Racine, Kathy Schoenick of Madison Area and Lesley Addy of Ottawa are among the Craftsmen members who've indicated they will try to help judge on June 15 and 16 here in Minneapolis. We have many other Central Minnesota members who invariably pitch in, but if you would have an interest in joining us, why don't you give it some serious consideration.
