As my term as President winds down, this week and next will be my last blogs. It's hard to believe that the year is almost over...but I leave you in good hands with President-Elect Bryan Beaty!
Installation of Officers and Awards Ceremony
Speaking of President-Elect Beaty, you don't want to miss the 2009-10 FPRA Treasure Coast Chapter Installation of Officers and Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, Sept. 2 at noon. The location is the Kight Center, Room 309, on the Indian River State College Campus in Fort Pierce. At the Ceremony, we will announce the 2008-09 Member of the Year, the Virginia Moulton President's Award recipient and the Adrienne Moore Award of Excellence winner to three deserving members of the Treasure Coast Chapter. We'll also celebrate the State Awards for Best Chapter Newsletter, President's Award for Communications and Outstanding Chapter of the Year. Reservations can be made online at www.fpratreasurecoast.com and the cost is $20 per person. Thanks and see you at the celebration!
And There’s More…
In last week’s blog, I mentioned the extensive participation from the Treasure Coast Chapter in the Annual Conference. I neglected two things: Adrienne Moore, APR, CPRC was installed on the State Board as the Florida Public Relations Association’s Education Foundation Chair for 2009-10 and IRSC associate professor James Mason prepared the opening video for
state president Lanette Hart, APR, CPRC. The video showed photos of her chapter visits, the voiceover referred to the State theme of “The Birth of New Ideas” and included baby photos of the Executive Committee members.

Steve Schmoyer of Multicolor Printing Inc. hosted seven Indian River State College graphic design students recently at his printing facility in Stuart. He welcomed the students and their instructor, Walter Hines, IRSC Assistant Professor-Graphic Design, Advanced Technology Division for a 90-minute presentation.
During the visit, IRSC students learned pre-press techniques and digital file preparation for Quark XPress projects in a contemporary, commercial printing environment. Among the topics covered were: PDF creation and setting preferences, hot-folders, page imposition and on-the-fly PDF editing. Schmoyer provided an overview of the printing industry, past and present, and its close relationship with graphic designers. The presentation included demonstrations of several printing and finishing processes including, lithographic offset, letterpress, die-cutting, hot foil stamping and embossing.
IRSC students appreciated the quality time and professional advice given to them through these hands-on opportunities. The students enjoyed learning about the complete printing process start to finish in full detail. Way to go Steve!
Have a great week!
Linette
