BACK IN ACTION

Yesterday I returned from my trip to India, where we had outsourced the printing of all our new signage which will serve both campuses. I know that may not thrill the President, but since we now live in a country that produces precious little, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

How about this? -

We ordered a total of around 38 banners.

The printer picked up the graphics from the church office in Mumbai. No one needed to go to him.

The next day he delivered all the banners. The job was done in 24 hours at a total cost of $267.

I'm into signage in a big way. There's nothing worse than going into a new environment and having no idea of where everything is. So since we want to put our guests at ease, we're brightening up the whole place with colorful banners that tell them most of what they want to know.

Today I also outsourced graphics for newspaper ads, the back of our invitation postcards and also of the door hangers we're using. But that job only went as far as Texas where we always get an even better deal than the print job. It's great to have a son who is as committed to our vision as anyone living it up here.
